Importance of eggs in M'sian diet main reason for price cut, says Anwar

BUTTERWORTH: The government was prompted to lower the price of eggs as they are the most commonly consumed food by Malaysian families, especially lower-income households, says the Prime Minister.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said a study found that Malaysians can consume four eggs a day on average, which was the reason for the government’s decision to use savings from subsidies to lower the price by three sen.
