KUALA BERANG (Bernama): A frozen meat importing firm believed to be behind an illegal meat cartel will be charged in court soon, says Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid.
Speaking to reporters after officiating the Food Bank Malaysia programme in Kampung Lubuk Periuk here, on Thursday (Dec 31), he said the investigation paper on the company located in Johor Bahru was almost complete, as the ministry had obtained the meat analysis results from the Chemistry Department on Monday (Dec 28). When we want to charge (in court) the meat must be sent to the laboratory to be checked whether it is indeed kangaroo meat, horse meat, pork or any other meat. So it takes time, he said, adding that the Chemistry Department had already assisted by expediting the checks as it was a matter of public concern.
