Food Security Ministry wants border controls tightened ahead of Hari Raya Haji


KLANG: The Agriculture and Food Security Ministry has asked government departments and agencies related to border control to intensify enforcement and control at the country's entry points, to deal with the entry of cheap goats and cattle with questionable health status, ahead of the Hari Raya Haji celebration.

Its Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said intensified control and enforcement, particularly at the northern border and the east coast of the Peninsula, could help the ministry's efforts to curb the illegal entry of livestock, which has an impact on price competition for local breeders.
