SINGAPORE: Your go-to fresh chicken stall at the neighbourhood wet market might close, at least for now, due to Malaysia's impending curb on the export of chickens, according to stallholders CNA spoke to on Tuesday .
According to the Singapore Food Agency , about one-third of Singapore's chicken supply is imported from Malaysia. Other major sources include Brazil and the United States .to activate supply chains to increase imports of chilled and frozen chickens from alternative sources, or draw from poultry stocks.
"Because selling price I increase, customer run already. Somemore, Sheng Siong, FairPrice, little bit already increase, so the market seller very difficult now," he told CNA. "There are fewer customers now, but it can't be helped," he added, and shared that he also does free delivery around the Bukit Merah area.
Still, she regularly patronises Fu Lai Fa, and said she will continue to do so, because they sell organic chickens.Meanwhile, at Swee Heng Fresh Chicken Shop in Beo Crescent Market, stallholder Mdm Ng Kwee Huey wasn't aware of Malaysia's plans when CNA approached her on Tuesday morning.
When CNA visited her stall just before 8am, she was already packing up. This is the norm for her, she said, since she only buys a"limited amount" as she manages the stall alone.

It was always thought that there are major shareholders from Singapore in these chicken farms which sold exclusively to Singapore only but Malaysia yet again shows it dominance over us with chicken rice stalls and Muslims the worst off victims.
Time for Singapore to own our very own chicken farm at Neo Tiew area or Lim Chu Kang area , abundance of land , have to self reliance
Singapore does NOT only import from Malaysia. This stallholders are just taking advantage to raise prices. Period.
Time to cut down meat and switch to plants. The caloric conversion ratio for poultry is 11% (feed to food).
Let's activate our resilience plan..... if any !?
