Meanwhile, in the oral question-and-answer session, Kamal Ashaari (PN-Kuala Krau) will ask the Agriculture and Food Security Minister about the government's plans to curb a 25% rise in livestock feed costs driven by imported raw materials and to optimise the use of palm kernel feed to stabilise prices.
