How a pig farm dispute exposed fault lines in Malaysia’s multiracial politics
Pig farmers in Selangor, Malaysia, face a dispute after the state government, acting on a royal decree from Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, decided to shut down pig farms. The move has shifted a local conflict over pollution and odor into a broader issue involving royal authority, minority livelihoods, and Malaysia’s multiracial political dynamics.
