Local egg farms produced 27 per cent of Singapore's egg consumption, while less than 1 per cent was imported from accredited farms in Thailand, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.
According to NTUC Fairprice, about 40 per cent of its eggs come from Malaysia, and prices have increased by 5 per cent in the last week.
However, it "practises diversified sourcing" to ensure a stable supply.
Sheng Siong says more than half its eggs are from Malaysia and that its supplier is considering getting eggs from Thailand instead.
--
Good, we will closely monitor - and the moment Malaysia restrict their eggs export --- we will switch to other suppliers in other Countries.
We have plenty of leverages against this old hat ---- and we will prevail and hammer the daylight out of this old hat.
Singaporeans need to be united and close rank - behind our Singapore Government - we can prevail.
Their locals will have plenty of rotten eggs to throw at this old hat.

Singaporeans can do their bit - along nationalistic line.
That is, stop visiting Malaysia and spend our money in Singapore - to make the retail and F&B in Singapore more vibrant.
As long as this old man is around causing trouble for us --- Singaporeans should not make his life easier by spending hard earned money to contribute to their Economy.

Currently, the Singapore factor is worth at least RM50 billion (S$16.6 billion) a year to the Johor economy, state executive councillor for tourism and domestic trade, Datuk Tee Siew Keong, told Malay Mail Online.
"An average of 16 million tourists a year from Singapore visit Malaysia and a vast majority enter the country via Johor Baru. It is their first stop and assuming they spend a night or two here before moving to other places, the money they spend is substantial," Datuk Tee was quoted as saying.

Singaporeans should do our bit to stop visiting Johore and Malaysia - until we are convince that they stop creating trouble for us.
We should spend our (S$16.6 billion) a year in Singapore - and create more jobs in Singapore rather than contributing it to Malaysia.
This old hat slap us on the right face - Singaporeans should not let this old hat slap us on the left face.
We should stop going up until this old hat leave the political scene.

Paul Tan - The employment rate for Singaporeans are going up while foreigners are coming down.
Also if those Singaporeans have still difficulties in finding jobs - Singaporeans can get help from WSG, e2i and NTUC.
They are the special task force set up in 2016 - to help Singaporeans to find jobs and help businesses to find workers.
If you don't approach them, how can Government help those who needs jobs?
Complaining in this forum no use - people must have resolved to take the right steps to get their jobs. Job won't come to them by just complaining in the forum.

Paul Tan you are wrong when it comes to Malaysia.. for decades they just don't appreciate and never change and keep poppin back time to time and tried to stab us.. your rational in building ties is of utmost importance . But you have to see your dealing with what country
Jewel Lin
Paul Tan actually we shouldn't consider this too shallow and just about ourselves. There is lots of merit in bringing in foreign talents as well besides having negative impact. But the positive outweighs the negative. Just had to fine tune. Besides we have to consider Singapore as a whole but just individuals or certain sector. To be honest we have no other choice only if you consider and understand deeper. Layers of issues and situation. I feel in this aspect the government fail to connect to the people to make them understand. Lky did a much better job in making ppl understand and will the nation as a whole perhaps because he is truly sincere, he is confident and he leads by great example. Most importantly he is so rational and intelligent.
Ricky Lim
Paul Tan - The Government are for the interest of Singaporeans and Singapore - as the 1st priorities - except that many Singaporeans don't know or cannot appreciate.
Imagine who on Earth will give more than $10,000 a year for 1 to 2 room flats household and $4,455 to other household - as transfer of benefit? This cost the Government more than S$6 billion a year - and the Government in not corrupted.
Sometimes there are many things that the Government will not say or cannot say in the public because the Government hand is tied or have other considerations that cannot say in the public - but everything the Government do is for Singaporeans and Singapore..

Jewel Superior - You are right that Mr LKY connect very well with the public - and sometimes say things that should not say in the public - but got no choice but to do so.
But saying certain things that cannot be said in the public - do come with a price - unless like Mr LKY who has the overwhelming stature to do damage control later.
And indeed the Government will rather not say it in the public - because doing damage control will weight us down.

Paul Tan - Creating good jobs and getting people to be qualified to do the jobs is still the Government priorities.
Currently we are at a transformation stage where Government is actively working with every industies to transform via ITM (Industry Transformation Map) - to tackle disruptive tech and emerged stronger into Industrialisation 4.0.
While doing so, people will get disrupted - as the tech disrupt people's jobs, skillsets and businesses - and people need to adjust and acquire new skillsets.
This period is an uncomfortable time - as everyone - business and workers are adjusting - and based on statistics --- Singapore is doing much better than how the World is coping (who has undergone chaotic gov changes etc, and demo).
Some Singaporeans will be hit along the way as we adjust.
But notice that many Singaporeans and businesses adjusted quite well.
But for those Singaporeans who get hit and have problem recovering - seek help from the right Government sources - who are set up to help. Have faith in them, be patient and be preserverance - they can't do magic and get it right the first time (as there will be many obstacles along the way - because they need to get employers buy in and be comfortable to work with the Government to employ the older people).
As long as Singaporeans don't give up - good news will always come along the way.
As for the benefit transfer - Singapore will not turn itself into a welfare state - and will still keep its principle of Meritocracy albeit Compassionate Meritocracy - and will share the wealth as the Economy earn more.

Ricky Lim I agree with Ricky. Even though I'm no expert in many areas but I can see Singapore government doing exceptional job compared to any countries I know of and have great faith in them. I do agree there are areas to be improved but that's really limited to individual abilities. Not everyone is lky. Especially in how he can walk right into our hearts and unite us all. I have explain this on my other post. Seriously I don't think our government is that bad and greedy as most claim and I can understand where they coming from when they proclaim this. And the most unfortunate situation is when we bring down thet government, We Singapore is over.
Jewel Superior
Paul Tan know that when you make a statement and conclusion like this your not representing all the people. There are bound to have ppl like that. The world is never perfect and so is the people of Singapore. Still you have to accommodate them. Only way to affect the person beside you is that you be a good example to your neighbor. Not complaining, comparing, blasting one another and so on right? This is how we change society which behind with one self. That's the real change.

How did you arrive at the conclusion "EVERYTHING the Gov do..." if like you say, the Gov "will not say or cannot say"? Did you based that conclusion on what you knew (which the public does not know), or was it based just on your own faith?

Breeke Lo - Sometimes the Government cannot say things in the public - but have to quietly deal with it - else it will escalate into bigger issues that will weigh the Country down.
Eg. Publicly many political sensitve issues cannot be openly declared :-
(1) State sponsored hackers into our websites
(2) Taking sides in Superpower geopolitical tussles
(3) Issues that will compromise our National Security or National Interest - which are regulated by OSA (Official Secret Acts)
(4) Issues concerning religious sensitivities
etc
All these are common sense.

This is why Malaysia always lags behind in economic progress: their ministers spend more time devising childish tit-for-that policies against S'pore instead of thinking of concrete plans and measures that will actually benefit their own citizens.

In your own country, what skill jobs do malaysia hv ? Nothing much. We Singaporeans knows how the old man madey envy n jealous of Singapore success. If only malaysians are as good as Singaporeans, malaysia will atleast comes close behind our success. But too bad, malaysians are just lazy and lazy.

We have a competent government & all along we have never depended on any single source of food supply. To depend on Malaysia is suicidal due to changes in its political leadership every few years. And as expected, this new Malaysian administration will not like to see us continue to succeed & live in normalcy. We have many friends worldwide who will gladly supply all the eggs we need. We should stop buying all food supplies from Malaysia, even if we have to pay a little more, to teach their government to respect & treat us right. Why don't Malaysia find problems with Thailand at the common boarders? Because Thailand is strong & big, Dr. M has no "balls ," all shrinked & dried up, so no more testosterone. AVA has good culture & we should & must always be independent of everything from any "unfriendly neighbors" forever.

Wei Foo Can you also have a balanced mindset to think why any country will not want to sell their products and services to SG if we are offering it at a market rate that is favorable to both countries? What's the motive other than tackling their own "shortage" which coincide with all the current issues?
I believe you are a buyer of things too? You do have an expectation of the things that you want to buy etc? What will happen if you do not get what you want? Surely, we do not need to paint this balance view to you or anyone as it is a no-brainer rationale to go to another source that is comparable to the current market conditions? Differences sure abound...close to the current is what is the best.
I guess I am wrong to think you are one of the better reasoning and sound minded individual in the online community...oh well.

The big picture is we should never be beholden to any country for any needs. This way we can negotiate for quality, type & price. It does not matter where the supplier is from. If there are volume we will be able to source for quality & better prices. It is about economy of scale. We have workers from many parts of the world but mostly from around Asia. From Malaysia it is just a convenience & to show we like to help our close neighbors. But that doesn't mean we totally cannot find replacement? Prices of goods are subject to many trading conditions i.e. import & export tax, volume, quality, relationship, & etc. In our supermarkets we have products of similar nature but different prices & quality, simply because people want to have choices. Yes we care about prices,labour & etc but we are an independent country & we have choices of suppliers. It is always our government's job to source for alternatives. We should not be "mental block" that only Malaysia can answer our needs!

Singapore is such a small country - there is no danger of Malaysia running out of eggs if they export to Singapore. In fact, stopping the export of eggs to S'pore will only hurt their own M'sian economy.
The M'sian ministers are either extremely paranoid, not very bright, plain childish, or all of the above.

Their brilliant government has to resort to asking for money from the people instead of the years of money-sucking that they have done to the nation's coffer. And guess what? Nothing has since been said of how those monies are being used. Is the nation out of debt? If so, is that why their politicians are so free to create such ruckus with its neighbour? Too much free time. Should go back to kampong and fish.
Brilliant!

I'm surprised none of you guys picked up the message behind this eggy gesture. It isn't about demand and supply, nor is it about intelligence or industry. It's a threat. Before we hv weaned ourself of our reliance on them, the only position left for us now is humility. He wants face, not our money.

Spot on Jim, why not Thailand on air or sea issues but only with the little red dot ? Hope this "air, sea and even eggs or other food issues" can be a wake up call for all true ble S'porean how vulnerable we are being surrounded by very much bigger countries with unreasonable leaders. They always use "jungle laws" without any facts and figures let alone to comply with International Law on air or sea disputes. Salute our Air Force pilots who are so well trained in taking a more than 90 degree turn after taking off from our Paya Lebar Airbase to avoid any intrusion but how can this apply to civil aviation when ordinary people's lives and safety are the most important concern to the whole region and the world via certain International Aviation Regulations. So what's next Dr M ? Where is our neighbourhood spirit let alone ASEAN ?

its so odd,i bought a tray of eggs from JB,at the woodlands causeway i was told to throw them away.all rubbish rules.

This is the Christmas and CNY demands. After the festive seasons, Malaysia will have to eat their own eggs if we can find good alternative sources.

I trust that Singapore have learned from Israel how they (with divine Almighty help) fenced off big nations during 6 Days war in 1967. Go and read the history on how The Almighty defenced the underdog and made the enemies abondoned their tanks and run for their life. Now Israel has even more water to spare and help the West Bank residents, thanks to the sea desalination technologies. I think Singapore have learned a lot from Israel and and even now, not to forget our first batch of arm forces were trained by Israel defence forces. To God be the glory and help our small nation to manage those big nations wisely.

Not true, Egypt was a double face back then, the goverment was already infiltrated by high officials from US and Isreal hence only 6 days war. If you think its a divine help then you are crazy XD.

KS Kim,
No offence meant, but we should depend on the living & reality. Israel was aggressive & with the technology, couple with assistance from the US,they had to show their unfriendly neighbors who they are. It is a good example of making thing happen instead of waiting for it to happen. We must remember during WW2 about 80 million people died world wide. Where was all the Gods! If there were any God & if he had compassion, all this God has to do was get rid of the leaders that started the war. But it did not happen,even after all the preying. Man,women,children,infants & old,were mercilessly butchered, including 6 million Jew,all under Gods view. So, we have to be balance in our views about religion & cannot always think that religion always does good things. Today's world problems mostly is about religion because many claimed their religion is the right one. Maybe without religion, the world will be more peaceful!

The hard true fact is that Israel won the war in 6 Days and further more they were against tremendous odds, go and analyse the numbers and it will shock you (Singapore SAF strategy of fighting enemy is at least 3:1) and Israel at that time was totally outnumbered. There is no human history or any civilisation can repeat such achievement without Divine Intervention. Anyway, true Christianity is not a religious, all this name are all man made. It is very easy to blame God when things go wrong and never find out the actual truth. I do not need to list down the long list of what mankind has done that causes today's broken world, AIDS, global warming, extinction of species just to name a few. It is your choice not to believe that there is a Divine intervention but you have to know that there is no scientist can prove that there is no Creator.

What hand? Nobody saw any hands for the sky, maybe you saw your mother's hand holding your dick & playing with your John. I guess your father's dick is to limp to satisfy your mother's needs. Keep dreaming,it is not any divine hand, it is your mother's hand holding your missile! Arshole!

I can list things that your God did that is inhuman & written in the book call bible. Like slavery,telling the Jews to kill tribes, like the Canaanites, Amalekites, man women, children & infants. Your religion even says that women are inferior to man and if a women got married & not a virgin. She should be put to death. You want to discuss this further you are welcome. Anyway your religion has been abuse by even the church elders. Abuse young children under their care, sodomized them, sexually abuse them thief of people's wealth & etc. All under the view of your God. The war can be 6 days or 3days, it does not matter. All is by the effort of mankind & weapons, not by any other divine power unless it can be proven and verified, period! Everything is beneficial for your God you want to capitalize but anything bad, you say is not an act of God! What stupidity is this? Heads I win & tales you loose game? Bullshit!!!

Jim Ihope Looks like you have tried to read into the bible, good for you. I think you have only read a small part but you have not read the entire bible to understand the rationale behind why God has commanded Joshua to wipe all the giant race like Amalekites in Canaanites, Mount Hermon and many others. May God give you the open heart to read and discover more.

Never mind. Let them store the eggs in the warehouse until it gets rotten. Then dispose them all at Putra Jaya.
Chris Valen
They forgot that there are Malaysians working in Singapore too. Which means, they have to forget eating eggs while they are in Singapore. Apart from that, those suppliers in Malaysia, will suffer a huge loss also. "Wonderful" move. My toes are laughing.
Ahmad Adnin
But again you have to remember, no malaysian would ever buy eggs in singapore. Heck, even singaporean buy groceries in Malaysia tho.

Rmbr the proverb, dont put all your eggs in one basket. This is risky due to a tit-for-a-tat by an unfriendly Asean country. I believe AVA is practising it by searching for more "baskets". Must note that without eggs, it doesnt mean we cannot survive or die, right ?
Shooter Shoot
Singapore is a Buyer ! M should tell it to the eggs producer in Malaysia !
Anyway, Singapore must learn this lesson just like Water ! Look else where permanantly for supply like Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines , Laos, Myanmar or even Taiwan .
In future , even Malaysia farmers have a good harvest, Singapore balance the import of everything from other countries and must not import more from them.

We can hv all the plans from A to Z, but the reality will always remain that Singapore w nvr be self sufficient. We hv no land for agriculture, farming, no waters for fisheries, and we need to feed an ever growing population... did the scholars behind the Population White Paper realise this? As our external reliance for survival gets bigger, our negotiation power gets smaller. Is that why we are only crying wolf and doing nothing to protect our sovereignty?
Brian Soh
Breeke Lo In my opinion, food like water is the same whether it is for external econmical reasons or for survival sake. Do not tell me if you sell the product in return for financial gains whereby this product at the same time guarantees your survival, it is not liken to be of same importance?
Breeke Lo
Brian Soh u r talking business, in a rational economy, between rational partners. I give u money, u give me eggs. And we even hv a trade agreement that you'll give me the 1.4b eggs I need. Now, what happens when u turn irrational and dun wan my money? U wun die, u w just eat those eggs. But i will, I can't eat my money.

We all remember this - Dr. M(onkey) gave our PM only 30 mins to meet him after he was reelected. It was an ominous sign.

No worries lah...Ah Peng (Xi) will provide all food for next to nothing (long term loan). Just beware if you made long term plans..LOL
Mona Anne Lim
Nevermind. Just give M the benefit of a doubt.
They prefer to sell to their own people.
We will source our eggs n whatever from alternative sources.
May be more expensive but no choice. It's ok.

And now our country is interested on exporting our country's supply of eggs to Singapore. In fact, our eggs here in the Philippines are oversupplied.

Maybe sg govt should try this since dr m administration started first, ban all imports from malaysia, ban all Malaysians from working in sg... we can get all their replacement elsewhere easily.
Anthony Ho
Ai Ya! What the fuss what is happening? Small matter make it so big. Never see a big snake urine ah? No eggs from Malaysia buy from Thailand, Indonesia or China. Invest in eggs farming in Laos or Cambodia or Philippines or Indonesia then export the eggs to Singapore. Problem solve. Singapore stop the import of pigs from Malaysia because of pigs Nipa disease and start pig farming in Batam. Now Indonesia pork become very popular in Singaporeans.

To those of you here having your field day drumming up SG-MY enmity, please at least glance thru any of our food import charts online before you start your keyboard bashings. I'm alarmingly surprised none of you guys picked up the message behind this eggy gesture. It isn't about demand and supply, nor is it about intelligence or industry. It's a threat.

Stop selling eggs to Singspore is Malaysia prerogative, Singapore has no right to complain. Question is who will suffer most. I thought Malaysia economy is in bad shape. Any lost of external earnings will only make it worse. Simple economics.
Woonkwang Lee
Breeke Lo no worry. It has not been our practice to put all eggs in one basket so to speak

Unfortunately we do need to worry. Just look at durian, China is importing Malaysia durian. So we have a hunngry giant competing for the same food source with us. Likely China could also buy up the eggs from Malaysia . We should not be just contented that there are alternate food sources. We should plan for worst case scenario .

I feel whatever that is happening is all because of that mahathir. Ever since he took the PM position all these ridiculous and childish act from Malaysia starts again. But this time it be slightly different. I feel he knows he won't have much time on this side and using whatever he can to head on with Singapore even at the expense of his own country.
Nothing has really changed in Malaysia in terms of politics and day to day issue. Just a different set of party continuing it's ope agenda but this time round it's mahathir agenda.
He just want to spend his last bit of his time to finish off Singapore. So expect it to be different such that negotiations won't be like as in past.

He is a very bitter, jealous and unhappy old man. Just don't expect such a man to change his attitude and stance. We Singaporean just have to be prepared this time round to face the last of his era.
After his passing together with his foolishness and hatred.. the rest of the minister which are corrupt just wants money but won't have this extreme destructive perception as mahathir do.

First it was the old water issue, then the air path, then the water way and now the threatening of eggs supply. What's next, Singapore should take a long term view of all these and find alternate solutions like what we did with NewWater. Review everything we need that we currently rely on Malaysia and find long solution for Singapore to depend on them little by little.
Jewel Lin
I agree we should cut down drastically our reliance on them.. and reduce our trade and so on gradually. Why not spend the effort and money on countries that is
more stable and government that appreciates Singapore and I believe most if not all countries in South East Asia are just that better than Malaysia. Truth!

Why are the Singaporeans being so stupid here??? Read the facts!! NTUC and Sheng Siong getting eggs from Msia for cheaper price and selling it for such a high price. Your own people are cheating...hahahaha pity u all

I seriously feel Singapore should reduce dependency on Malaysia gradually since they have for decades threatened our survival! Native Singaporean wake up! You do no good to Singapore as a whole and to yourself praising Malaysia and gloating over our government! At the end of the day, Malaysian especially their politician are all out to wipe us. It's in their heart and mind but lack the ability. But when they have the chance to do so.. you better pray hard! You are the most disgusting people of Singapore and a traitor as well! Don't acknowledge the murderer as your father and then kill the ones that feed you! Because you will have no good end either. They will show you no mercy the other side of the shore! For those who keep doing so.. know that you ain't worth it.. to even reason with.
If your truly concern about all ppl of Singapore, stop considering just about oneself. Make extensive studies about the government intentions and plans and rational with them. Sometimes at certain period of difficulties, we have to suffer but yet suffer with great understanding and sacrifices! You know in your heart sometimes there just no other way out but I think you just ignore the fact as one suffering and pain is more important than the next person. Our society mainly has become more materialistic and everyone self centered thus less caring and affection. This is the root problem of our society as well as other society, but unfortunately for us the space to manuvour is much much lesser, thus the government always emphasis we need to stand United.
In life as we progress we want more so is our perception of what is deem normal. Greed knows no boundaries and it's always never enough. To rule a nation or be a great individual, we also need to cultivate within oneself. Otherwise everything will fall apart just waiting for the right conditions as we depend on them to be motivated.
Singaporean and other nations.. do consider what I say. Thank you.

It’s not going to work. Eggs are already cheap in Msia. If the sales of eggs to Singapore is controlled, their local prices will drop further. Their farmers will suffer.
Jewel Superior
Still think we need make contingency plans to be less reliance on them. Maybe a third.. or less.. the remaining bulks we should get from other various sources. Not just eggs. We should plan and move towards that direction.
They have threatened and tried relentlessly to bring us down over the decades but why are we so forgetful? As if we never learn the lesson from these experiences. Or maybe the ordinary population didn't bother at all and leave it to gov to deal with it? Then blame the gov when things gone wrong for their lives? Just think harder when life gone bad for yourselves. And not push the blame to anyone else first. I believe there is limitations to our situation as a country even if it's rule by other party. Look at the bigger picture first.
