Tanjong sepat: The closing down of pig farms in Tanjong Sepat, here is in the final phase with only 11,000 remaining animals involved and is expected to be fully completed soon. Selangor Infrastructure and Agriculture Exco Datuk Izham Hashim said the closure involves about 30 farms that are still operating in various stages, after the eviction order was issued due to the remaining livestock not being mature enough to be disposed of since February.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Datuk Izham Hashim stated that no new piglets are being brought in and all will be slaughtered at the slaughterhouse in Rawang. The process is being carried out in stages and is expected to be completed soon. A meeting was recently held by the Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Datuk Chan Foong, and Izham Hashim to ensure that high-value agricultural activities can be carried out on the 141.6-hectare area.

Izham Hashim also mentioned that a meeting will be held on June 9 to review the federal and state government's assistance measures. This includes land restoration efforts and helping the 87 farm operators involved switch to other suitable agricultural activities after livestock operations cease completely.

Earlier, Tanjong Sepat assemblyman Datuk Borhan Aman Shah reported that all pig farms in Tanjong Sepat would be completely closed by the end of June, with enforcement starting on July 1. The state government has given six months of flexibility to operators to wind up their businesses, including selling their livestock within this period. This action was taken in respect of the decree of the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, who opposes any pig farming activities in any district in Selangor.
