JOHOR BARU: The Federal Government’s decision to continue providing subsidies for chicken and eggs beyond June 30 is a temporary but necessary move, says Hassan Abdul Karim.

The Pasir Gudang MP, who is also a member of the Domestic Trade, Entrepreneurship, Cost of Living and Agriculture special select committee, said the decision to continue the subsidies and control the price of chickens and eggs was a good one and should be supported as it helps to ensure sufficient supply of the items in the market.
