According to The Star, Datuk Ronald Kiandee ruled that the issue was of public importance but was not urgent.
Er Tech Hwa (DAP – Bakri) who tabled the motion said half of the chicken meat producers did not receive the subsidy and many had suffered losses or were not getting any income as a result of increased production cost.
“If the Government does not address the issue, many may have to stop operations,” he said.
