Officials from the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry had an early morning raid Monday, seizing 6,000 pieces of roti canai and 360 pieces of chapati dough over a dispute over the company’s halal logo.
JAIS (Selangor Islamic Religious Department) officers were present during the 10am operation, after members of the public reportedly filed complaints against the company over the last nine months. The dough purveyors are alleged to have used a halal logo on their boxes without certification from the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM).
In total, 60 boxes of roti canai dough, along with 12 boxes of chapati, worth an estimated RM3,063 (US$720), were taken in.
And on that note: Now we’re hungry.
