Difficult to set up teams to monitor halal abattoirs overseas, says Idris

KUALA LUMPUR: It will be difficult to set up teams comprising imams and students abroad to monitor the operation of foreign abattoirs with halal status as proposed by a non-governmental organisation (NGO), says Datuk Idris Ahmad.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) said this was due to the provisions of other countries' laws which should be respected.
