Current supply shortage of raw materials temporary, says Domestic Trade Ministry

KUALA LUMPUR: The current supply shortage of some raw materials such as chicken and eggs is only temporary and the situation is expected to return to normal once the industries involved resume operations after the long Chinese New Year holidays.

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry Enforcement deputy director (Operations) Shamsul Nizam Khalil (pic) said the projection took into account that many livestock farm workers were on long holidays in conjunction with the festival.
