KUALA LUMPUR: The Control of Padi and Rice Act 1994 (Act 522) will be amended to enhance enforcement against the mixing of locally produced and imported rice, says Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.
He said stricter measures would be implemented against millers, wholesalers and retailers found engaging in such activities, acknowledging that the current provisions under the Act are insufficient to address the issue effectively.
