Reconsider egg price control withdrawal, subsidy removal, MCA VP urges govt


PETALING JAYA: The government should reconsider its decision to gradually withdraw price controls and subsidies for the egg production industry, says MCA vice-president Datuk Lawrence Low.

Low expressed concern over the complete removal of the RM0.10 subsidy per egg scheduled for Aug 1, warning it would increase monthly household expenses by RM15 for a family of five, based on an average consumption of one egg per person per day.
