Saman itu difailkan oleh Raja Muzaffar Kamar Raja Busu, Lijah Awang Kechik, Raja Kamar Idris Raja Busu, Norhayati Abdullah dan Raja Teh Rahmah Raja Busu.
Writ saman itu difailkan oleh peguam Kamal Razali melalui firma guaman, Badruzzaman & Kamal, Peguambela & Peguamcara, Peguam Syariah di Pejabat Pendaftar Mahkamah Tinggi, di Pulau Pinang.
Dalam pernyataan tuntutannya, Raja Muzaffar Kamar yang mewakili empat plaintif lain dari Bayan Baru, memohon ganti rugi am RM1 juta, ganti rugi teladan RM500,000 dan ganti rugi teruk RM100,000.
Beliau turut menuntut surat permohonan maaf secara terbuka oleh defendan kepada semua plaintif kerana mengalami trauma dan maruah plaintif tercalar kerana menjual ayam haram.
Raja Muzaffar Kamar berkata beliau mengalami trauma dan berasa berdosa kerana memakan ayam yang haram bersama plaintif lain dan memberi makan produk ayam yang haram kepada pelanggan di restoran miliknya di Astaka Gelugor, di Pulau Pinang.
Katanya pada 12 Mac lalu, beliau membeli tiga ekor ayam yang siap disembelih dan dipek dengan bungkusan berjenama HyFresh tertera logo halal dikeluarkan Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM).
Raja Muzaffar Kamar berkata beliau memasak ayam itu dan sebahagiannya dimakan bersama keluarganya manakala bakinya dijual di premis perniagaannya.
Beliau berkata ketika membuang sisa ayam itu mereka mendapati kesan sembelihan pada leher ayam berkenaan mencurigakan kehalalannya di sisi Islam dan membuat laporan kepada Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam Pulau Pinang (JHEAIPP).
"Pada 16 Mac lepas, JHEAIPP kemudian membuat siasatan dan merampas ayam berjenama HyFresh di pasar raya itu kerana tidak disembelih mengikut kaedah ditetapkan Islam," katanya.
Katanya pada 31 Mac lalu, Jabatan Mufti Pulau Pinang mengeluarkan surat mengesahkan produk ayam berkenaan tidak disembelih mengikut ketetapan syariat Islam dan haram dimakan oleh orang Islam. http://www.malaysiakini.com - 1 Jun 2010.

History
[edit] Formation

First Tesco self service, St Albans, England. Now branded as a Tesco Metro.
Jack Cohen founded Tesco in 1919 when he began to sell surplus groceries from a stall in the East End of London.[4] The Tesco brand first appeared in 1924. The name came about after Jack Cohen bought a shipment of tea from T.E. Stockwell. He made new labels using the first three letters of the supplier's name (TES), and the first two letters of his surname (CO), forming the word TESCO.[5] The first Tesco store was opened in 1929 in Burnt Oak, Edgware, Middlesex. Tesco was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1947 as Tesco Stores (Holdings) Limited.[4] The first self-service store opened in St Albans in 1951 (still operational in 2009 as a Metro),[6] and the first supermarket in Maldon in 1956.[4]
During the 1950s and the 1960s Tesco grew organically, and also through acquisitions, until it owned more than 800 stores. The company purchased 70 Williamsons stores (1957), 200 Harrow Stores outlets (1959), 212 Irwins stores (1960), 97 Charles Phillips stores (1964) and the Victor Value chain (1968) (sold to Bejam in 1986).[7]
Originally specialising in food and drink, it has diversified into areas such as clothing, electronics, financial services, telecoms, home, health, car and dental insurance, retailing and renting DVDs,[8] CDs, music downloads, Internet services and software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco

Sir John Edward Cohen (6 October 1898 – 24 March 1979), born Jacob Edward Kohen and commonly known as Jack Cohen, was a British businessman who founded the Tesco supermarket chain.
[edit] Career
He was born in Chatham in the Medway area of Kent, the son of an Avram Kohen, an immigrant Polish-Jewish tailor, and his first wife, Sime Zamremba.[1]
He began his working life as an apprentice tailor to his father but in 1917 he joined the Royal Flying Corps where he served as a canvas maker.[1] Upon his demobilisation in 1919 he established himself as a market stall holder in Hackney, in London's East End by purchasing surplus NAAFI stock with his demob money.[1]
He soon became the owner of a number of market stalls, and started a wholesale business.[1] In 1924, he created the Tesco brand name from the initials of a tea supplier, T. E. Stockwell (formally Messrs Torring and Stockwell of Mincing Lane), and the first two letters of his surname.[1] The first two Tesco stores opened at Becontree and Burnt Oak in 1931.[1] By 1939, Cohen owned a hundred Tesco stores.[1]
Sometime around 1930 he changed his name by deed poll to John Edward at the suggestion of his bank manager whose staff had trouble distinguishing between the many Jacob Cohens banking at the Mare Street branch in Hackney.[1]
In 1948, he witnessed the American trend for self-service supermarkets, and opened one of the first such shops in Britain.[1]
He was married to Sarah Fox, daughter of an immigrant Russian-Jewish tailor: they had two daughters, Shirley and Irene, the former now Dame Shirley Porter.[1]
Cohen was knighted in 1969.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Cohen_(Tesco)
