Nik Aziz Backs Selangor Pig Plans

In a report for the Star, he said there was no reason to raise objections against the proposal if the company managing the farm was able to follow the guidelines set by the Department of Environment.

“We support so long as the farm does not contaminate the environment, and non-Muslims have the right to breed pigs,” Nik Aziz said here Monday.

He was asked to comment on a decision by the Pakatan Rakyat government in Selangor to allow a company to open a RM100mil modern pig farm in Tumbuk Estate, Sepang.
