KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 — Hypermarket chain Mydin has said that it is also experiencing a shortage in the supply of local rice in its outlets, and said it also has to face accusations by customers that it was hiding its stock of rice.
Ameer Ali said businesses have to face customers who claim that they are hiding stock of local rice, but said the reality was that the supply of local rice to businesses was less than usual. Astro Awani also quoted him as saying that the reality is that the price of imported rice has increased and that this is part of a global phenomenon that cannot be blamed on the government, but said there is a need to help the low-income and mid-income groups — dubbed the B40 and M40 — by giving out financial assistance such as through vouchers.
On September 5, Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu was reported saying that Malaysia’s local rice supply is expected to be restored within a month following the government’s intervention through the Special Local White Rice Programme which was expected to increase local rice production quota by over 20 per cent.
