PETALING JAYA - Chicken sellers are selling chicken between RM10.50 and RM11 per kg, openly flouting the fixed price set by the government at RM9.

40 per kg, claims the Consumers' Association of Penang .

Mr Subbarow said there seemed to be ample supply of chicken in the market compared with complaints earlier by traders that there was a shortage. The cost of imported livestock feed, which has risen by 70 per cent since the war in Ukraine started, is the main factor driving up production costs, especially with the heavily weakened ringgit.

"We will not allow traders to flout the law, but can only take action effectively if details are provided.Meanwhile in Johor, eight businesses have been issued compound notices for various offences related to the sale of chickens, eggs and cooking oil. "Strict actions will be taken against any retailers who sell controlled items beyond the ceiling price set by the government, fail to visibly display the price of their as well as for failing to place special pink price tags on the controlled items," he said in a statement on Friday.
