PUTRAJAYA: The government has agreed to continue with the ceiling price for standard chicken at RM9.40 per kg, says Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.

He said the Cabinet reached the unanimous decision on Friday, adding that the government also decided not to float chicken prices in response to feedback from several quarters.
