SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): For the past four months, a 75-year-old retired cook, who gave her name only as Rose, had stopped buying chickens because they were too expensive.

But she joined the throngs of people at the Bedok 85 market, and around the island, to buy fresh broiler chickens from Malaysia, after it lifted its export ban on these birds earlier this week.
