A TOTAL of 14 premises in Kuala Lumpur were ordered to shut for violating regulations on cattle slaughtering and selling beef during Hari Raya Aidiladha.
These offences were detected by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) during a three-day integrated operation in collaboration with Veterinary Services Department and Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (Jawi).
'These include skinning and selling beef in back alleys, processing meat on dirty floors as well as disposing of fat and blood into drains.
'Some businesses were also found selling and slaughtering chickens within their premises,' said DBKL.
The operation, which was conducted from June 6 to 8, focused on hotspots such as Jalan Silang, Jalan Berangan and Pusat Perniagaan Bandar Utara, DBKL said in a social media post.
It said that Jawi had received applications from 240 mosques and surau for slaughtering to be done in their premises.
'There were 11 applications for slaughtering to be done outside mosques and surau, with 10 approved.'
The post clarified that the application process required documents such as landowner's letter of permission, veterinary health certificate, entry declaration and exit declaration.
DBKL added that it and relevant agencies would continue to uphold food safety, public health and cleanliness in the city.
In a separate operation, City Hall issued 33 compounds to premises in Taman Sri Sinar for various offences including placing goods in public spaces without permission, disposing of rubbish in public spaces and drains as well as obstructing drains and disrupting the flow of water.
In a social media post, DBKL said the operation was aimed at educating businesses in Kuala Lumpur and taking periodic enforcement action against offenders.
'In the meantime, DBKL is also issuing compounds and taking action against stubborn traders who are causing obstructions on pedestrian walkways,' it added. — By LEW GUAN XI

'We survived… but I still can't talk about it' – Alza driver on Gerik tragedy
BALING: The driver of the Perodua Alza involved in the fatal collision with a tour bus near Tasik Banding, Gerik, on Monday remains traumatised and has yet to recount the incident in full. "I still vividly remember what happened that day, but I still can't talk about it," said Mohd Lutfi Radzi, 37. On that fateful day, he was travelling with his wife, Nurul Ain Zakaria, 36, and their two children — Nur Aisyah Nafishah, 6, and Muhammad Ahsan Nafis, 2 — when the collision occurred along the East-West Highway. The family was returning to their home in Parit Panjang after celebrating Hari Raya Aidiladha in Terengganu. Speaking briefly at Baling Hospital, where the family is receiving treatment, Lutfi said he remembered the moments leading up to the crash but could not recall what happened immediately afterwards. "One of my children was thrown from the vehicle… but I'm thankful that we all survived," he said, adding that he had been chatting with his wife shortly before the collision. Lutfi, a teacher at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Malau in Baling, and Nurul Ain, who teaches at SK Tembak, are reported to be in stable condition. Their daughter, Nur Aisyah Nafishah, suffered a fracture to her right thigh and will require surgery, while Nurul Ain sustained broken ribs and remains under close observation. Orthopaedic specialist Dr Asri Zuzairudin Mohd Ali said both Lutfi and their son had stabilised and are continuing treatment at the hospital. "All four family members are still undergoing care here," he said. The Kedah State Education Department is monitoring the couple's condition. Senior assistant director (Schools Unit) Wan Norazman Zainol said the department would ensure the family received any necessary support during their recovery. The crash occurred in the early hours of Monday when a tour bus carrying 42 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students collided with the Alza. The students were travelling from Jerteh, Terengganu, to the university's main campus in Tanjung Malim, Perak. Fifteen students were killed in the accident.

DBKL: Construction site where Briton fell had no safety violations
KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) found no violations at the Bangsar construction site where a 25-year-old British backpacker was found dead last week. Following an inspection on June 5, DBKL executive director (Planning) Datuk Zulkarnain Hassan said periodic checks showed the site was properly sectioned off. "It's a big development. It will be developed in phases. "One of the phases has been completed and the other is still under construction, so this is permissible. "They have, in fact, separated the part of the completed project from the one under construction. "So, it's properly separated," he said. However, the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) has halted all construction activity pending investigation. Zulkarnain added that DBKL's authority on construction sites is limited. "DBKL's concern, based on the building by-laws and other laws, is to ensure that the construction does not cause nuisance to the surrounding neighbours. "We also make sure every site has hoardings displaying the project details — what it is, who the main consultant is, the contractor, developer and the person in charge," he said. He added that DBKL regulates construction hours, and this site had been granted an extension to operate until 10pm — three hours beyond the standard 7am to 7pm limit in Kuala Lumpur. "Thirdly, we have jurisdiction over the vehicles and routes used for construction. "We monitor site cleanliness, ensure lorry tyres are cleaned, and check that drains aren't obstructed," he told the New Straits Times, adding that no violations were recorded at the time of inspection. Zulkarnain also pointed out that the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) plays a role by appointing contractors, who are then responsible for ensuring all standard operating procedures (SOPs) are followed. Yesterday, National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) chairman Chong Chieng Jen urged CIDB and DOSH to investigate the developer and all parties involved in the Bangsar construction site where the Briton's body was found. Police believe the 25-year-old had entered the construction site before falling into a partially completed lift shaft. His decomposed body was later discovered submerged in water.
