There will be no shortage of pork for the upcoming Chinese New Year festive season, Deputy Agriculture and Food Security Minister Chan Foong Hin has assured.

Speaking at a press conference at Parliament on Tuesday (Jan 27), Chan said pork supply from Selangor has been minimal following a halt in pig farming due to African Swine Fever and a royal decree by the Selangor Ruler, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
