As for chicken eggs solde in the Peninsular, the ceiling prices were fixed at 45 cent each for grade A; 43 cent for grade B and 41 cent for grade C.

For Langkawi, Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, the price cap for whole chicken and eggs will vary depending on the respective zones and districts the said groceries are sold at.
