The authorities have confiscated over 90 paintbrushes which were allegedly made of hog's bristles with a 'halal' logo stamped on the handle.

According to Berita Harian, the items were seized following raids carried out by the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry at a hardware store and a supermarket in Kuala Lumpur.

The first raid started at about 2.20pm and resulted in 30 brushes being seized.
