SHAH ALAM, Sept 27 — The Selangor government will subsidise the purchase of imported rice through Padiberas Nasional Bhd until the end of this year to ensure a stable supply of the staple food in the state.
“Recently we had a discussion with Bernas, they brought in the imported rice but we are selling it according to the price of local white rice , which means we are subsidising. We buy for RM17 per five kilogrammes but we sell for RM13 which is the ceiling price for BPT,” he said. He said that although the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security expects the supply of the staple food to be stable within the next two to three weeks, the state government is prepared to cover the purchase subsidy for another two to three months to ensure the supply is really sufficient.
