Selangor PAS Youth urges state govt to act on alleged live pig shipments via Port Klang

Published: Oct 25, 2026 10:39 AM

Selangor PAS Youth has urged the state government to take immediate action regarding the alleged entry of thousands of live pigs into the state, claiming the activity contradicts the prior decrees of the Selangor sultan.

Selangor PAS Youth vice-chief Faizzuddin Zai stated that the issue has sparked widespread public concern and controversy.

Selangor PAS Youth vice-chief Faizzuddin Zai stated that the issue has sparked widespread public concern and controversy.

"As we are all well aware, the sultan of Selangor clearly decreed that only imported pork meat is allowed to meet the demand of the non-Muslim community in the state.

"Therefore, reports regarding the large-scale entry of live pigs raise serious questions: Is this activity disregarding the sultan's decree?" Faizzuddin (above) said in a statement.

Earlier, it was reported that Port Klang Area Fishermen's Association chairperson Abdul Rahman Kachil claimed that approximately 800 live pigs have been brought in weekly from Kuching, Sarawak, since last July.

According to him, the pigs arrive at Port Klang every week by ship before being transported to a facility believed to be an abattoir.

Since July, an estimated 3,200 live pigs have been brought into Selangor each month, an activity that allegedly defies the Selangor ruler's directive.

On May 7, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah maintained his stance of withholding consent for any pig farming activities in any district across Selangor.

His Royal Highness further emphasised that the pig farming issue must be halted and finalised completely (a "full stop") to prevent public anxiety and to preserve peace and harmony among the people.

Environmental issues

In his statement, Faizzuddin also expressed grave concerns over the potential impact on public hygiene, health, and environmental sustainability in the areas surrounding the port.

He highlighted that the waters around Port Klang serve as the primary source of livelihood for local fisherfolk. If sewage and waste from the unloading process of the live pigs flow into the sea without strict oversight, it risks not only deteriorating water quality but also damaging the marine ecosystem and catches.

He urged local authorities and relevant agencies not to stand idly by and sacrifice the welfare of the public for the sake of commercial business interests.

"We demand a swift investigation and strict monitoring to ensure no party deliberately challenges or disobeys the decree of the Selangor sultan.

"Selangor PAS Youth warns the Selangor menteri besar that the state government must not take this issue lightly, nor should it protect those who commit treason against the ruler," he added.

Only new pig farms with 2,000 or more pigs require EIA - deputy minister

All this hullaballo are anticipated once the State and Ruler decreed to ban pig farming in Selangor. There were no objections from the governing PH and the MB was happy going along with it with the support of his PKR, DAP and Amanah honchos. Once the decree become law and the State government play along there is nothing to defend except to give excuses and play the blame game.

Imported live pigs to be slaughtered and distributed. Not for farming PAS and isu babi berpisah tiada

Why not the gomen of the day ban Pas from talking about pig issue? If allowed, they will keep creating troubles with it to get cheap political brownies. Just like the banning of All** from the non Muslim.

Pig farming and bringing live pigs to a licensed abattoir are two different activities. Does the Sultan’s decree cover both? The state government should clarify this, but PAS Youth should also establish the facts before throwing around accusations of treason. If there are concerns about permits, sewage or pollution, investigate and enforce the rules. Those are legitimate questions. Jumping from alleged shipments to accusing people of defying the ruler does nothing to help the public understand what has actually happened.

It looks like PAS fellows are guarding the Port Klang 24/7/365 and prefer to follow the live pigs wherever the animals go. This fellow is so free that he has nothing good to do. By the way, the Selangor Sultan mentioned PIG FARMING, not bringing in live pigs for slaughter, as the news mentioned. This is typical of PAS in how they twist His Highness's statements. Those managing the abattoir should send a letter demanding that Faizzuddin Zai retract his statement, since he is misleading about what the Selangor Sultan said earlier. If he refuses, haul him to court to defend your diet right.

This is what happens when petty and uneducated types are given platforms. News articles yesterday highlighted that 1.16 tonnes of ketamine found on a Malaysia based tanker carrying this into Indonesia. And it looks like this lot only has a pigs focus instead of worrying about how many other Malaysian ports and tankers are involved in this mode of shipment of drugs into and out of this country. Do pigs cause addiction and death, Selangor PAS Youth? Looks like poor education and lack of exposure has made you petty, incompetent and incapable of any sort of representation of a country whose strength is diversity. Thank you for reminding us once again as to why you are completely without resources or capability for any sort of governance.

this is just appetizer more to come after bnpas form next government

Is there a law banning the import? If not, what's the issue?

What a nuisance from people where the live animals never go near them.

This is what happens when PAS uses religion to gain votes. Is PAS telling NM to stop eating pork and is that in accordance to Islam. We need Islamic scholars to speak up on NM rights to eat pork.

The government must not allow extremists to rule the day. If it is a pollution or environmental problem, deal with it as such and must not let the extremists to turn it into a racial or religious issue to score political points.

Learn to share, tolerate, accept and live and let live. All religions I believe teach us to be benevolent.

Selangor PAS Youth vice-chief Faizzuddin Zai stated that the issue has sparked widespread public concern and controversy. @@@@@ Only troublemaker politicians wants to make this an issue. No pig rearing doesn't forbid importing live pigs especially if they are from Sarawak.

UNDECIDED11:28 AM, 25 Oct 2026

Here we go around the mulberry bush. Around and around the race and religious bush we go. Rearing pigs cannot. Importing pigs also cannot. Then in future even importing pork meat also cannot. This is how the party PAS completely bankrupted of ideas of how to build and maintain an economy, use race and religion to try and win support from the majority race. Also trying to use the Royalty as their excuse, to push forward their agenda. Life was so peaceful and even relationship between the people was more closer, when PAS was only confined to Kelantan and Trengganu. Now that they have expanded their activities to the other. States, they keep on forcing their way of life or beliefs on others. The Malacca NM's should be wise. If not one day all the so called activities considered Haram by PAS in the State will be banned, once they come to power.

Some bright religious parties just can’t understand simple English , period

Firstinnotout11:16 AM, 25 Oct 2026

Has PAS condemned those deliberately insulting or attempting to usurp the Royalty in Negri Sembilan? Or is PAS also in league with that bunch?

On the Other Hand11:14 AM, 25 Oct 2026

If you are not eating pork, why is it your business to interfere? This is precisely why no one should ever vote for PAS, a party that insists on imposing and forcing their personal superstitions on everyone else who does not believe their nonsense. You are free to practice your superstitions (which have no evidence to back them up), in your own personal space. But you have absolutely no right, to impose your superstitions on non-believers. There has been no effort or statement by those concerned, to curb pollution from chicken or cattle farming which are far more polluting than scientifically controlled pig farming. Why not? This is what happens when religious studies replaced STEM subjects in schools, courtesy of Anwar Ibrahim when he was Education Minister in the BN government.

What about your rep I'm N 9 who committed treason against the Yam Tuan? U deaf and blind to that?

Imported meat can also imply live animals, do not make big fuss over it. Firstly, you deprive the local pig farmers of their livelihood claiming pollution. Now you want to dictate how this staple food should be imported.

MarioT10:59 AM, 25 Oct 2026

Why such a big fuss about the imported pigs? Isn't this part of the program to reduce pig- rearing in Selangor? There will be another uproar when some pigs escape during the transport....

HJ Angus10:58 AM, 25 Oct 2026

Firstly the Sultans decree is not law, secondly he himself has just gone into the media decrying devisive politics based on race and although that might appear hypocritical given the decree the PAS youth stance is a warning of things to come if they gain power. Non Muslims have the right to farm pigs locally providing environmental laws are equivalent to pautry and cattle farming standards. So PAS keep your racial religious objections to yourself. Non Muslims are clearly not taking any notice of them.

Sealthedeal10:56 AM, 25 Oct 2026

Very well said.
