SINGAPORE: A man was sentenced to 15 months' jail on Thursday (May 29) after he was caught with child abuse material comprising videos and pictures of young girls in the nude.
SERDANG: Ever complained about the rising prices of nasi campur but wondered why farmers are making so little at the same time? Well, now you can find out who is getting a cut from all the meats, greens and rice that is on your plate courtesy of the MyAgroPrice platform run by the Statistics Department .
When it is fully up and running, MyAgroPrice will display the prices for almost all foods produced in the country at three stages – the farm, wholesale and retail. “Consumers can see the difference between the prices that they have to pay compared to the prices at which farmers are selling their produce,” said chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin when launching MyAgroPrice. The platform was launched together with DOSM’s umbrella site, the Agriculture Digital Database Integration System or TaniStats here on May 29. TaniStats is compilation of all the data that the department has so far collected on the agriculture sector during its 2024 Agriculture Census. Besides MyAgroPrice, TaniStats will contain the census data, upstream and downstream sector statistics and food security indicators. “This system will also integrate all agricultural data where updates will be carried out periodically among agricultural agencies and will be used as a reference for policy formulation, development planning and measuring the achievements of their respective sectors. “TaniStats will strengthen strategic planning, increase supply chain efficiency, and ensure the development of a more sustainable and competitive agricultural sector,” DOSM said in a statement. Checks on the MyAgroPrice platform revealed that it is currently at the testing stage and only lists one item. But DOSM officials say that when it is fully ready, it will contain a whole range of products under categories that include grains, vegetables, seafood and meats. MyAgroPrice will list the prices at the district level and consumers will be able to compare the cost of items among different states. “MyAgroPrice is an innovation that provides information on the level and changes in the prices of selected agricultural products that can be used by consumers for consumption decisions. “In addition, policymakers can use price information on the MyAgroPrice platform to determine appropriate interventions for supply security and prices of agricultural products,” it added.Vacant ministerial posts not discussed in meeting with PM, says Loke
