Selayang slaughterhouses raided, 36 foreign workers detained
KUALA LUMPUR: Six chicken slaughterhouses at the Selayang Wholesale Market, mostly operated by foreigners, were raided in an integrated operation that led to the detention of 36 foreign men. The Immigration Department, in collaboration with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department, found that most of the premises were operating in an unregulated manner, with floors covered in blood and chicken waste. "Only one of the premises was managed by a local, while the other five were believed to be fully operated by foreign workers. "During the raid, several workers attempted to flee but were successfully apprehended," the department said in a statement yesterday. It said a total of 36 foreign men, aged between 20 and 45, were detained for allegedly working without valid documents. The detainees comprised 25 Myanmar nationals, 10 Bangladeshis, and one Indonesian, including several individuals holding UNHCR cards. "All of them are being investigated under the Immigration Act 1959/63, the Passport Act 1966, and Regulation 39(b) of the Immigration Regulations 1963. "In addition, the department issued notices to four local men to assist with the investigation. The Immigration Department remains committed to ensuring that all business premises comply with the law and do not employ foreign workers illegally," it said. The raid was conducted in the early hours of the morning, around 1.45am, following public complaints and three weeks of intelligence gathering.

Putrajaya-Selangor boundary to be finalised by year-end
SHAH ALAM: The boundary delineation exercise between Putrajaya and Selangor should be finalised by the end of this year, said Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. 'So far, the delineation process in Putrajaya is nearly completed (involving) areas such as Sepang and Kuala Langat, while areas (near) Kuala Lumpur like Ampang, Petaling Jaya and Subang will take a little more time because it involves more a complex delineation exercise,' he told Bernama after officiating the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (JAIS) Teacher's Day celebration here yesterday. He was commenting on a meeting between a delegation led by him and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa at Menara Seri Wilayah, Putrajaya here. At the meeting, Dr Zaliha raised the issue of resolving the delineation between Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, as well as Putrajaya and Selangor, to ensure more integrated border enforcement. Amirudin said that at the meeting, the Selangor government requested that 10% of an Islamic cemetery land area in Hulu Semenyih, Selangor, which is owned by the Federal Lands Commissioner, be opened up for local residents who wish to be buried there. He hopes that this effort will resolve cemetery land management issues under the administration of the federal government but located near Selangor residential areas. Dr Zaliha said the opening of a new Islamic cemetery in Hulu Semenyih could meet the need for Muslim cemeteries in Kuala Lumpur for another 28 years. Meanwhile, on a different matter, Amirudin said the proposal to raise the mandatory retirement age from 60 to 65 is still at the preliminary stage, adding that the matter needs to be further scrutinised. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said had previously proposed that the government consider raising the mandatory retirement age from 60 to 65.

We will await the report on teacher's reprimand of student
SHAH ALAM: The Selangor government is waiting for the full investigation report regarding a student allegedly reprimanded by a teacher at a primary school canteen on April 14. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari stated that the case is under investigation by the Selangor Education Department and any action will be determined only after a thorough inquiry. 'The Education Department is reviewing the matter. We will wait for their report. We need to understand the cause of the incident and the extent of the teacher's anger. 'We cannot immediately penalise the teacher as they may be under pressure from challenging environments. Mutual understanding is essential,' he said after officiating the Selangor Islamic Religious Department Teachers' Day celebration today. The incident gained public attention following the circulation of a 2-minute 32-second video showing a student sobbing while explaining something to a teacher who was scolding her at the school canteen. In response, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek reportedly stated that the ministry will take full responsibility and conduct a thorough investigation into the matter. Fadhlina also expressed regret over the incident, especially given the widespread circulation of the video and its significant impact on the community.
