PETALING JAYA: Rafizi Ramli’s proposal for a food stockpile is not a new idea as the government has already started to import chicken stocks since last week, says Isham Jalil.
The PKR deputy president-elect had said on Saturday that the government should consider implementing the stockpile policy and restructure various ministries to better address supply shortages.Rafizi had said the stockpile policy, which has proven to be successful during the 1970s food crisis, would empower the government to purchase and store food supplies and basic necessities including petrol and diesel, in bulk.
“Rafizi does not have a new idea to solve the problem, but he only knows how to criticise, condemn, belittle and copy other people’s ideas,” Isham said in a statement. "That is why we need a special agency to study, plan and implement this matter for a sustainable and long-term solution.
