The Arrest of Soyib: Unveiling Illegal Chicken Sale Practices
Policing Unethical Practices
The police in Jakarta recently arrested Soyib, a 32-year-old suspected of selling illegally prepared chicken, known as "Garongongan," at Kebayoran Lama Market in South Jakarta. The arrest, which took place at the chicken slaughter location on a Thursday morning, marked a significant step in curbing unlawful activities in the city’s poultry trade.
Soyib, who has been in the business since 2021, sold his chickens at Rp 50,000 per head, achieving a daily turnover of millions of rupiah. Despite his financial success, Soyib’s background is far from spectacular: he is just a worker in the poultry industry, lacking ownership or major assets.
AKP Bima Sakti, from the Metro Police’s Satreskrim South Jakarta suburb, shed more light on Soyib’s operations. According to Bima, Soyib learned his illicit techniques from colleagues who had previously worked in the same location. The tools used in Soyib’s methods are pieces of evidence that have been in use since he started working in the slaughterhouse.
The Motivations and Scope
Bima emphasized that Soyib’s motivation was purely financial. As a worker in a poultry slaughterhouse, Soyib sought to maximize his profit margins, adding an extra 20 to 30 percent above the highest retail price (HET). This method involved the sale of chickens injected with unidentified substances, commonly known as "Chicken Barking" and led to significant profits.
"The Broken Link” in the supply chain
The deputy police chief further noted that police are probing into the broader supply chain. Although the individuals involved are suspect, the illegal practice of Chicken Barking prompted the involvement of not just employees but market owners as well.
The Business’s Numbers
The chicken slaughterhouse where Soyib was employed reportedly earns a turnover of up to Rp 10 million per day, selling between 200 to 400 heads of chickens daily with each head priced around Rp 25,000 each. According to Soyib’s confession, he could sell up to 200 heads of manipulated chicken a day.
The Future of Our Purity in the Poultry Business
The drastic measures taken against Soyib and those involved raise the critical question: Where does the future of the poultry industry stand? The arrests and subsequent revelations emphasize the pervasive nature of unethical practices in the sector. Contemporarily, the public and consumers alike necessitate a thorough change in supply chains to warrant the future of poultry-related industries.
