The unusual wet weather this Chinese New Year is expected to cause a shortage of produce that could continue until the Muslim festival of Ramadan next month. Yong Peng Vegetable Gardeners Association president Cheng Tai Hoe has stated that farmers in the country are having a tough time meeting the demand for vegetables if the rainy spell continues until the end of this month.
