KUALA BERANG (Dec 30): The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) will conduct continuous monitoring and periodic raids on companies or distributors related to imported meat without notice.
Deputy Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid said the ministry had not 'washed its hands' over the issue and will continue monitoring to ensure all meat imported into Malaysia is halal.
"The ministry also guarantees that all imported meat available in the market at this time is halal ... we have been able to contain and identify the illicit meat; in fact, one company [involved in forging the halal logo in the illegal meat cartel case) was charged in the court today.
