Poultry and egg merchants in Singapore in consultation with their Malaysian suppliers proposed a plan to contain the spread of HIN1 flu across borders by disinfecting poultry and egg-carrying vehicles entering the area as well as allowing Singapore drivers to take over the vehicles at the border, according to a news report.
Merchant associations in Singapore said they will bear any price increases in eggs and poultry if the plan materializes.
However, there is a scarcity of drivers as those holding a Singapore driving license cannot drive a Malaysia-registered vehicle. The associations, though, are hoping authorities will grant their workers temporary licenses to meet the need.
