A chicken and egg situation


WHICH – in terms of rising prices – came first, the chicken or the egg? For the owner of a cafe in Kuala Lumpur famous for its fried chicken and butter cake (requiring many eggs), it is the egg.

After Pakatan Harapan won GE14, he noticed that egg prices rose drastically. It was an increase of about 20% to 30% from May last year to February this year. The price gradually dropped after March.
