KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia needs to continue its hard work in enga­ging its European Union (EU) counterparts over the issue of palm oil in anticipation of another round of attack, says Primary Industries Minister Teresa Kok.

“After many months of battle and backing our claims with proven facts, the EU Trilogue voted not to discriminate against palm biofuels,” said Kok at the Palm Oil Trade Fair and Seminar 2018 yesterday.
