SHAH ALAM: The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry's intention to seek an extension of enforcement authority to its personnel to address rice supply issues should be brought up for discussions with the relevant authorities, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.
The Agriculture and Food Security Minister said, however, that such a measure is only applicable if the supply reaches critical levels and there was no need to implement it now."If it reaches a critical level, perhaps we will also involve the Royal Malaysia Police. However, at this moment, it has not reached a critical level.
Acting Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali was reported as saying that he hoped that the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry could consider the extension of authority to its personnel to tackle issues related to rice supply.Meanwhile, Mohamad urged the public to come forward if they have proof of hoarding of local rice or the switching of local rice packaging to imported rice so that the authorities can take action.
Commenting on the commotions that occurred in Kuala Pilah, Negri Sembilan and Bagan Datuk, Perak on Wednesday , Mohamad said the ministry will hold urgent discussions with manufacturers and wholesalers to increase local white rice supply to the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority and Farmers’ Organisation Authority branches to prevent the incident from recurring.
