THE Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, has decreed that there should no longer be any pig farming operations in Tanjung Sepat, Kuala Langat.
The Selangor Royal Office, in a statement, said existing operations in the area must be stopped gradually before being fully relocated to Bukit Tagar.
This must be done in accordance with a structured plan and in compliance with all legal requirements and related regulations.
The decree followed an audience session at Istana Bukit Kayangan involving Selangor Infrastructure and Agriculture Committee chairman Datuk Izham Hashim and Local Government and Tourism executive councillor Ng Suee Lim.
Sultan Sharafuddin scrutinised issues related to the management and operational direction of pig farming in the state, taking into account public interest, environmental well-being and social harmony.
As part of the palace's directives, the Royal Office said a detailed study and a comprehensive, data-based census must be conducted to determine the actual statistics and the quantity of pork demand specifically for non-Muslims in Selangor.
The Ruler also said that there was no plan to export pork produced from these operations.
Sultan Sharafuddin also said the Selangor government would not provide any financial allocation or make investments in pig farming operations in the future, including those in Bukit Tagar.
"All related matters must be carried out without involving public funds from the state," the statement added.
The Sultan also expressed hope that all parties involved would implement the decrees responsibly, prudently and in accordance with the law to safeguard public well-being, environmental sustainability and harmony among Selangor's multiracial community. – January 12, 2026
