New year gift: Poultry farmers, who have been hit hard by the foreign labour shortage, expressed relief at the Cabinet decision to allow temporary work permits for illegals.

PETALING JAYA: Poultry farmers have received an early Chinese New Year gift as the foreign worker ban on their sector has been lifted.

This means that consumers can hope to see a reduction in the prices of chickens in the future.
