The retail price for imported white rice will see a reduction of between RM2 and RM3, effective tomorrow, said Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.
The National Farmers Organisation (Nafas) is ready to import rice if Padiberas Nasional Bhd is unable to secure more competitive pricing as local rice supply only fulfils 62% of the domestic demand, said National Action Council on Cost of Living Task Force (Food Cluster) chairman Datuk Syed Abu Hussin Hafiz Syed Abdul Fasal.

The Court of Appeal today ruled that the prosecution in Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad’s corruption case involving RM3 million over the agency’s purchase of Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites in Kuching, Sarawak, has presented two different narratives of its case.
