Going to buy chicken tomorrow from the wet market. the poultry sellers/hawkers must be thinking, wtf do i do now. 

[Tianmo]

Not really a bad thing actually.  It will just force us to source from other places,  which will cut our dependent on MY chicken,  just like how we used to depend so much on MY eggs.  Now we have eggs from as far as Poland.  

Mayb we will have fresh chickens from Russia and Ukraine soon leh,  and MY can keep all the chickens to themselves.

@Tianmo

Your chickens from russia and ukraine are chickens as in the animal or chickens as in the "animals"?

The MY government is essentially telling their chicken farmers they cannot sell/export their chickens for optimum economic benefit but must sell them at capped prices for local benefit.

Essentially asking chicken farmers to do national service.

Can’t help but feel this is politically motivated to remind Singapore of realpolitik. 

I’m not a chicken farmer but I know a little bit about economics, but I’ll let @Chickenfarm weigh in on this.

For a moment I was very concerned for @Jamesc.

Then I realised they actually meant chickens.

No lah, they are doing something for their people. Maybe the style is bolehland but at least they are making an effort... which is more than i can say about this side of the causeway

is their GE coming again ? trying to win votes  ? 😄

They dont have an anti-competition ministry to prevent ppl from fixing chicken prices?

To resort to stop exporting is kinda counter-productive. might end up wasting food.
