BUKIT LANJAN: Dead chickens sold at RM2 per bird to food operators in Penang?



BUKIT LANJAN: Dead chickens sold at RM2 per bird to food operators in Penang?

When you see a lorry laden with dead chickens, will it worry you? Isn’t it a suspicious sight?


The above picture is believed to have been shot in Penang and is now shared in WhatsApp.

The person who shared the picture claims that he confronted the lorry driver and was told that the “dead” chickens were being delivered for sale to chicken rice sellers and nasi kandar operators at RM2 per bird!

When pointed out that it is wrong to do that, the driver said you can go complain to anyone you want! The JPJ (Road Transport Department) is not stopping me, my boss will kow tim (settle) everything!

“This is just unbelievable and shocking. It is blatant disregard for public health and to Muslims who observe strictly to halal food,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

He urged all related enforcement authorities to immediately investigate the truth to the lorry-load of dead chickens.

“The source of the dead chickens can be traced easily. The registration number plate of the lorry is clearly visible,” he added.
Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan, said: “In fact the picture has alerted all authorities, especially those responsible for public health, to be alert and suspicious of such matters nationwide.

“Surely Bukit Lanjan residents do not want such food to be consumed in eateries, if it is also happening in the Klang Valley.”

Syed Razak urged the authorities to act swiftly and launch an immediate investigation into the truth of the lorry-load of dead chickens.

“And enforcement agencies must now make it a SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) to detain lorry drivers ferrying such suspicious consignments for investigations.

“This must be a nationwide SOP for all enforcement agencies. The Health Ministry must wake up and act in the interest of public health and Malaysians.

"Do not treat this matter lightly,” he added.

Photo of chicken carcasses on lorry goes viral

BY DINA MURAD



PETALING JAYA: A photo of a lorry with a Penang licence plate carrying dead chickens has gone viral, with claims that the meat was meant for human consumption.

The image shows dead chickens being carried openly without containers or any covering, and had a caption claiming that the chickens were being sold for RM2 each to eateries.

A voice recording was also shared together with the image, in which a man is heard saying in Malay that it was not the first time that chickens were transported this way.

He then told a person that a complaint could be lodged wherever they wish to complain as his boss could settle the issue, adding that the Road Transport Department has never stopped the lorry.

The man added that the dead chickens were bought and sold in this way.


Neither the claims or the voice recording could be verified as at press time."

N.37 LET BUKIT LANJAN SOAR WITH SYED ABDUL RAZAK ALSAGOFF

CreditKristian Helgesen/Bloomberg, via Getty Images Norway’s Wealth Fund Considers Divesting From Oil Shares By  CLIFFORD KRAUSS NOV. 16, 2017 Norway’s $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund is considering a divestment of holdings in international petroleum companies, a sign that even Europe’s dominant producer does not have full confidence in oil’s future. The recommendation on Thursday by the Norwegian Central Bank, which manages the fund, is potentially the biggest advance yet for a global fossil-fuel divestment campaign that has been promoted on college campuses and by environmental activists. It could also be a setback for the proposed initial public offering of the Saudi national oil company, known as Aramco, since the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, would be a potentiall...

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up It is quite obvious that something is not very right with the way the Department of Occupational Health and Safety (DOSH) and all related construction authorities are monitoring work safety at construction sites. There have been quite a number of tragic and non-tragic incidents at construction sites recently and yet accidents continue to recur despite DOSH’s claims that it has set up safety committees to tighten inspections. Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said: “There was the woman who was crushed to death by a crane hook that fell on her Perodua Kelisa from 20 storeys up. “This was followed by the collapse of the KL Eco City pedestrian bridge that claimed a life. And now a crane has collapsed at the Bandar Damansara Perdana (BDP) construction site.” Syed Razak said such tragic and non-tragic mishaps at construction would not occur or could have been avoided if high and competent constr...
