The birds are STILL protesting!

OMG! New cases of bird flu had emerged again in the northeastern state of Malaysia, Kelantan. When i first see the news on our wire services, my immediate reaction was , no more eggs and chickens from msia AGAIN! Wat to do, Singaporeans are now coping wif less eggs. To a certain extend, they are doing fine. However, i guess the only affected ones are those who need eggs for their businesses, ie confectionary, restaurants, hawker. Although the authorities are bringing new sources of eggs here, it is still posing a problem. PRICE!

Eggs are very expensive now. They have transformed from a normal good to a luxury good. How can? My mum said eggs are usually eaten by the poor cos they are cheap and filling. Today, i doubt they can afford the luxury. I hope the malaysian authorities can contain the outbreak and prevent more new cases appearing. It is hurting to the malaysian economy cos many countries have banned poultry products from there. It is equally hurting to the country who has no resources and relies a lot from her friendly neighbours.
