Govt institutions to use imported white rice, so people can get the local variety, says Anwar

PADANG BESAR: The government has decided that its institutions, such as the military, police, schools, hostels, and hospitals, will use imported white rice from April onwards to enable the people to obtain local rice.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the people could get a sufficient supply of local rice if these institutions used imported white rice instead of the local variety.
