Padi farmers: Do more for our rice bowl

Local rice bowl: Sekinchan is made up of vast tracts of padi fields.

SEKINCHAN: Padi farmers here – known as the rice bowl of Selangor because of its high yield – are hoping that the Government can do more to help those who are struggling.

This year’s drier and hotter weather due to El Nino means the padi harvest this month was no cause for celebration.
