KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 31 — The National Action Council on Cost of Living (NACCOL) that met today set RM8.90 as the maximum price for standard chicken, 20 sen cheaper than the fixed ceiling price of RM9.10.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, who chaired the meeting, also said the price of chicken eggs for all grades will remain the same as currently set under the Keluarga Malaysia Maximum Price Control Scheme (SHMKM).

Both will take effect from February 5 until June 5, he said.

"The government will provide subsidies to ensure the price of items can be controlled such as SHMKM and details on the subsidies will be carried out by a cost of living task force headed by the Agriculture and Food Industry Ministry (MAFI) as well as several other ministries, representatives of government-linked companies and consumer bodies until prices stabilise,” he said in a statement here today.

Ismail Sabri said besides this, import permits for whole chicken is now open to all chicken importers with approved permits (AP) compared to before this when the import of only chicken parts such as wings, thigh and others was permitted. — Bernama
