PETALING JAYA: A strict price ceiling mechanism is necessary to contain the sharp rise in vegetable and poultry prices, according to several experts.

Over the past two weeks, some vegetables had seen more than 100% increase in prices, as reported by the Consumers’ Association of Penang (CAP). Local news outlets have also observed an increase in chicken and egg prices since October.
