KOTA KINABALU: Putrajaya must put its money where its mouth is over talk of making Sabah and Sarawak the rice bowls for the nation, says a political economist.

Sabah Universiti Teknologi senior lecturer Dr Firdausi Suffian said the proposal by Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu over increasing rice production in both states had been mooted by previous governments.
