Malaysia stands its ground on RED decision

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is standing firm on its position on the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and will not accept any discrimination from the European Union that harms rural communities, says Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong.

The Plantation, Industries and Commodities Minister said the Government would go all the way to defend the livelihood of some 650,000 small farmers who cultivate oil palm in the country.
