KUALA LUMPUR: The Control of Paddy and Rice Act 1994 (Act 522) will be amended to boost enforcement against those who rebrand locally produced rice as imported rice, says Agriculture and Food Security Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.
Mohamad said action can be taken against millers, wholesalers and retailers caught undertaking such activities in the future, while admitting current provisions under the Act are still insufficient to address the issue effectively.
