Mahathir says Putrajaya has to be more aggressive in fighting the palm biodiesel ban.
Malaysia will consider retaliating against the European Union if it goes ahead with its measures against palm oil, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said today.
"In fact, we have written to all the heads of government of the EU, and we have pointed out to them that we may need to retaliate if they continue with this discrimination against palm oil," he said after chairing a special cabinet committee on anti-corruption meeting in Putrajaya today. In January, the prime minister sent a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron, saying that Malaysia would consider laws to restrict imports from the country if it did not withdraw plans to ban palm biodiesel.
