KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has adequate supplies of government-subsidised cooking oil to meet local demand and help blunt the impact of food inflation on lower income groups, according to Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin.
“The rising costs in Malaysia and elsewhere is something we have expected, given the effect of the pandemic where price rises ripple through economies worldwide,” Zuraida said in reply to emailed questions.
