BUTTERWORTH: The move to abolish Approved Permits (APs) for food imports will need to be studied further to ensure it not only benefits the country but also does not jeopardise the local food production industry in the face of a looming global food shortage, says Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The National Recovery Council chairman and former premier said this policy change should not be done at the expense of local entrepreneurs.
