Mat Sabu: Tighten borders to curb unhealthy livestock


KLANG: Government departments and agencies related to border control have been urged to intensify enforcement and control at the country’s entry points to deal with the entry of cheap illegal livestock with a questionable health status, ahead of the Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration.

Agriculture and Food Security 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 also has an impact on price competition for local breeders.
