Five producers given more time to refute chicken cartel allegations

KUALA NERUS: Five chicken-producing companies have been given an extension until Dec 19 to make representations to deny their alleged involvement in a chicken cartel.

Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Datuk Rosol Wahid said the five companies operating on the west coast had previously been instructed by the Malaysian Competition Commission (MyCC) to submit representations by Oct 21, but the deadline was extended due to the complexity of the case.
