Kota Kinabalu: There is no need to set a price cap for selling price of local rice in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, said Federal Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Datuk Chan Foong Hin.
He said the government does not want to implement such move because it wants to encourage local paddy farmers to earn more from its production of the local white rice. Daily Express Malaysia
“I think that was a proposal well before the introduction of subsidies for the imported rice for Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan. “When Datuk Armizan made that statement , it was during a situation where only the Semenanjung have price cap for the local white rice while in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, they don’t have the price cap for the local white rice and also for the imported rice. Dear Daily Express reader,Ever since 1963, before the formation of Malaysia, The Daily Express has kept the public well-informed as well as helped shape Sabah & Labuan's development for 60 years.
