Question

Accepted Answer

No Reports Link Jakim Officers to Frozen Meat Smuggling Syndicate

To date, there have been no reports indicating the involvement of Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) officers with the syndicate involved in smuggling frozen meat and affixing it with a halal label for sale in the domestic market. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Seri Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri has consistently advised staff within his agency to uphold honesty and high integrity.
Involvement of International Sources

The frozen meat smuggling syndicate reportedly sourced its products from several countries, including China, Ukraine, Brazil, and Argentina. This meat was then transported and repackaged with a halal logo at a warehouse situated in Senai, Johor Bahru, before being distributed for sale.
Government Monitoring and Cooperation

Jakim is committed to continuous monitoring to ensure the integrity of halal certifications. This oversight is conducted through collaborative efforts involving relevant bodies, ministries, and state governments. These measures aim to maintain clarity and trust in the halal assurance system.
Calls for Integrated Investigation

Following media reports on the syndicate's activities, the Malay Chamber of Commerce Malaysia, Johor (DPMMNJ) acting president Muhammed Farhan Basheer urged the government to conduct a comprehensive investigation. The call was specifically for an integrated probe into the disclosure of a cartel allegedly involved in falsifying halal labels, counterfeiting brands, and repackaging imported frozen meat for the local market.
