PUTRAJAYA, May 18 — The government has agreed not to impose with immediate effect, the approved permit (AP) requirement to import foodstuffs into the country, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said this decision was reached at the Cabinet meeting chaired by him today towards ensuring sufficient food supply in the country.

“This will enable all parties to import any food items into the country,” he told reporters after attending an Aidilfitri celebration hosted by the Prime Minister’s Department (JPM) at Puspanitapuri, here.

Ismail Sabri said the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries (MAFI) would later announce the details on the AP matter.

“Previously, there were the APs to import beef and cattle but from today, these are no longer required and anyone can import whatever food items to ensure sufficient supply,” he added. — Bernama

This means the jiuhukias are so desperate for meats that they don't really care if they are halal or not anymore.

They are embracing the free market. Consumers get to choose whst kind of food they want,
The haji at religious department will not like this. It bypasses their halal chop.
Lotus or its owners, CP group in thsiland will benefit the most. They bought over tesco malsysia and they are biggest chicken breeders in thailand.
The local breeders will be wiped out. Forced to sell.
