PETALING JAYA: Stakeholders, industry players and chicken sellers are waiting to see what happens next after June 5 when the ceiling price of chicken of RM8.90 ends.

A chicken seller, who wants to be known only as Ibrahim, said the whole issue of chicken supply and pricing seems more like a tug of war.

“The core issue here is that the price of chicken feed has increased; as such, the cost of rearing chicken has increased for the poultry farmers and they are not getting the subsidies promised to them in time.The government had set RM8.90 per kg as the ceiling price for chicken from Feb 5 to June 5. The Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations deputy president Mohd Yusof Abdul Rahman said the NGO has yet to receive any new updates on the price of chicken.
