Khairy on chicken export ban: ‘It is not an easy decision’


SINGAPORE: "It is not an easy decision for us to make,” says Khairy Jamaluddin on Malaysia’s decision to stop exporting up to 3.6 million chickens from June 1, which has also affected the supply to Singapore.

"We value our bilateral relations with Singapore. So, we hope that this is a very temporary measure until the supply and price situation in Malaysia is stabilised,” said Malaysia’s Minister of Health to reporters on Thursday (June 2).
