Halal Check On Sg Liang's Ramadhan Food Stalls
By Liza Mohd

Bandar Seri Begawan - Officers from the Halal Import Permit Issuing Board conducted a surprise spot check on Sungai Liang's Ramadhan food stalls yesterday afternoon after the public suspected that a non-Muslim was selling barbequed chicken to the public.

However, it turned out that the vendor was a Muslim convert. Personnel from the Belait District Office Licensing Section also took part in the surprise spot check to ensure that all meat and cooked food were Halal.

The food stalls are located in front of the Soon Lee-Megamart building in Sungai Liang. After inspecting seven food stalls, it turned out that everything was in order.

No offences were discovered as the vendors produced receipts to show that chicken and meat were bought from authorised outlets and abattoirs in Brunei.

These operations have been carried out since the establishment of the Halal Meat Act 183 over ten years ago. Those found selling dubious meat or chicken in Brunei could be sent to court. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
