: The Sarawak government is prepared to fund rice cultivation projects to ensure Malaysia’s rice production and food security is safeguarded, said Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
“I had the opportunity to meet Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu during his visit to Kuching, where I outlined our plans for rice production, by comparing the Stumbin, Lingga, and Tanjung Bijat areas in Sri Aman with Kedah. He said that he had proposed a similar investment for rice cultivation areas in Sri Aman, and Mohamad responded that the matter would be referred to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the Finance Minister, as it is expected to involve a significant outlay of funds.
Previous media reports quoted the premier as saying that Sarawak is confident it would not face a supply crisis once 10,000 hectares of land planted with hybrid padi fully yield within the next three years.
