SIBU: Live chickens partially wrapped with old newspapers and displayed at Sibu Central Market always attract the attention of tourists, especially those who are here for the first time.
Placed in rows instead of in cramped cages, the
chickens are secured with nylon strings.
Live chickens are popular among locals for the freshness of their meat especially during festive seasons when demands for them tend to spike.
Sibu Central Market is also popular for its fresh vegetables and fish.
