Farms shut down because of small chicken size, not protest, says ministry

She said the move was not done as a sign of protest as alleged and that they had received notices of the closures, adding that when personnel found that the sizes of chickens were just around 1.1kg to 1.2kg, compared to 1.8kg to 2kg, and were not suitable for sale when they conducted an inspection of farms on Wednesday .

A Bernama report published on Wednesday regarding a memo issued by a farm in Merlimau, Jasin to suppliers notifying them that chicken supply would be stopped on May 21 and 22 because the chickens failed to reach the required weight. Such actions, she said, would only cause problems for others as Hari Raya celebrations were still ongoing.

On allegations of flour shortage in the state, she said the supply was still stable with 11 brands of flour that were subsidised available.
