The Malaysian chicken export ban was announced on 23 May 2022 by Malaysian prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, restricting the export of 3.6 million chickens a month overseas until the domestic supply and price surge stabilises. Malaysia exported poultry meat worth US$18.9 million in 2020, making it the 49th largest exporter of the product in the world.[1]The imposition of the ban comes amidst surging chicken prices due to a chicken shortage and rising prices for the domestic market.[1]
The ban was partially lifted in June, allowing export of kampung and black chickens to Singapore. It was fully lifted on 11 October.
Seems to me that in recent years the SPH doggies are more focused on highlighting the problems in other countries than addressing the problems at home.
