KUALA LUMPUR: Find alternative sources to ensure Malaysia has sufficient rice supplies, says Datuk Seri Wee Jeck Seng.
Wee said Malaysia could look towards other countries such as Vietnam, Thailand and Pakistan that also export rice.“To overcome food security issues, we need to strengthen our country’s position by importing rice from countries such as Vietnam, Thailand and Pakistan immediately.
On Sept 1, Padiberas Nasional Bhd announced that the price of imported white rice increased by 36%, to RM3,200 from RM2,350 per metric tonne.Bernas had said it faced a challenging first half of the year due to unpredictable factors such as climate change, the weakening foreign currency exchange rate, high operating costs, and conflicts in the region.
To this, Wee suggested for the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry to control the price of food items.Wee also pointed out the latest statistics on urban poverty in Malaysia, which was at 4.6% in 2022 and 3.9% in 2019 according to the Statistics Department, adding that it was something concerning.
