PETALING JAYA: The temporary price control on eggs and chicken will be lifted to allow the local market to function freely and ensure enough supply, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“Now that the prices of chicken and eggs are starting to stabilise, the government is considering floating them based on prices that are lower than the government’s float price. The Agriculture and Food Security Ministry has consulted producers and ensured that there will be no unreasonable increases by companies and traders,” he said.
