GEORGE TOWN: The government has tasked the Islamic Development Department (Jakim), the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry and the police with investigating the recent controversy surrounding the "ham sandwich" issue, says Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Deputy Prime Minister, who is also Halal Industry Development Council (MPIH) chairman, said swift action had been taken with the immediate closure of two retail outlets at the university campus that sold the product.
