Come up with a real food plan, urge consumer groups

PETALING JAYA: The issues around the supply of basic necessities such as chicken and cooking oil stem from a bigger problem, and that is food security, says the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations.

Its president, Datuk Dr Marimuthu Nada-son, urged the government to craft a long-term plan through legislation and policy instead of creating “cosmetic solutions” such as setting up a special task force on inflation.
