: The government, through the National Action Council on Cost of Living , has agreed the retail price of imported white rice will be reduced by RM2 to RM3 effective tomorrow, Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said.
“The government is optimistic that this move will help Malaysians reduce their cost of living, especially during the Ramadan month and the upcoming festivities,” he said, adding that the government also decided that all current rice stocks totalling 140,000 metric tons purchased by millers needed to be processed and made available to local markets immediately to boost rice distribution.
“All these measures - lower rice prices and additional rice supply in the market - would boost the availability of rice to Malaysians,” he said.
