No more price controls for chicken, eggs after June, says Mat Sabu


KUALA LUMPUR: Prices of chicken and eggs are expected to be floated after June as part of the government's efforts to overcome the food shortage, says Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.

He said the prices would be floated so that the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry could monitor and assess fluctuations in the prices of the goods compared to the current ceiling price.
