“My favorite chicken rice and porridge stall is closing on the 27th. The price of chicken is too high to survive.” — Customer

The shortage of chickens in Singapore, which occurred after Malaysia stopped exporting in June, has taken its toll on one Telok Blangah Market hawker, who will be ending his business.

And while before Malaysia stopped importing chicken to Singapore, “chicken would sell for about $5 per kilo with each chicken weighing between 1.8kg and 2kg, therefore the cost of one chicken would usually not go beyond $12,” he told Shin Min Daily News, adding that “with kampung chicken, it costs about $20 for one weighing about 1.4kg to 1.8kg.”
