Rice supply in Negri Sembilan sufficient, stop panic buying, says Veerapan

SEREMBAN: There should not be panic buying for local rice in Negeri Sembilan as there is a sufficient supply of the essential items in the market, says State Entrepreneurship, Human Resources, Climate Change, Cooperatives and Consumerism Committee chairman S. Veerapan.

"The local supply of rice is sufficient. We are trying to limit the purchase to only 10 packets for the 5kg and 10 kg packets," he told reporters after an inspection at the store of a rice supplier in Kuala Sawah, Rantau, on Friday (Sept 15).
