Eggs and Poultry from Selangor Suspended

Imports from other Malaysian states not affected by move

The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) of Singapore has suspended imports of poultry and egg from the Malaysian state of Selangor. Selangor accounts for about 6% poultry and 1% of the egg imports to Singapore from Malaysia.

The move came after the agency was informed of a H5N1 bird flu outbreak affecting chickens in a village in Sungei Buluh, Selangor. Poultry imports from the disease-free zones of Malaysia is not affected by the suspension.
