There has been news mentioning there's a shortage due to increased demand while supply is decreasing due to various reasons. Also, most of these butter are also imported

Real butter, not margarine or luxury spread or fat spread or buttery
Look at how sneaky they are. I don't think many Malaysians realise this but the "butter" you buy is not actually butter. They don't even describe it as butter and use terms like "lemak sapuan campus sebatian" or something like that. When you look at the ingredients list, the first item is actually palm oil. Many don't show the percentages, one that did says that only 10% is "milk fat" i.e. real butter

The ones that actually describe it as butter and have the ingredient list butter (and maybe salt) but nothing else, is like 12.50 a block of 250g

Why so expensive ?

Because of corruption.

Many of these places sells in 5/10/25kg bulks. Even SCS at these places is only RM10+/250g.

Can't generalize. Some brands yes, is not actually butter. Some really are. You just have to read the ingredients

In New Zealand the cheapest butter I see on offer is Nz$5 for 500gm. So that is Rm15 for 500gm which is not cheap.
