SHAH ALAM: The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry's intention to seek an extension of enforcement authority to its personnel to address rice supply issues should be brought up for discussions with the relevant authorities, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.

The Agriculture and Food Security Minister said, however, that such a measure is only applicable if the supply reaches critical levels and there was no need to implement it now.
