PETALING JAYA: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, has disagreed with the state government’s plan to centralise the state’s pig farming industry in Bukit Tagar, Hulu Selangor.

Sultan Sharafuddin acknowledged the need for small-scale, controlled farming of pigs to meet the needs of non-Muslims in Selangor.

However, he said such large-scale farming was unnecessary and insensitive given the fact that Muslims make up the majority of the Selangor population.
