Ample supply of chicken, stable prices bring relief to consumers

: Consumers heaved a sigh of relief as there was no increase in the price of chicken following the government’s move to float the price starting today

“I was aware that the price of chicken is being floated today and worried it might increase. Alhamdulillah, there has been no increase,” he told Bernama today. Several major hypermarkets and supermarkets selling the item at promotional prices, ranging from RM7.39 to RM7.99 per kilogramme , significantly lower than the previous controlled price of RM9.40 per kg, which ended yesterday, while at morning markets and wet markets, traders sold them for RM8.90 to RM9 per kg.

In the northern region, specifically in Perlis, Kedah, Penang, and Perak, the price of chicken remained stable, and in some cases, they are even lower than before, despite the end of price controls and chicken subsidies starting today. At Pasar Besar Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, chicken seller Shahril Rashid, 60, kept the price at RM9.40 per kg to avoid burdening his customers, especially those from the B40 group.
