Kota Kinabalu: It is unwise to deny Sabah autonomy to import rice independently, Star Sabah said.

Its Api-Api division chief Md Rafee Md Shakir said the Federal Government should take note of the recent price hike which had become a burden to Sabahans. Daily Express Malaysia

“In spite of the RM950 subsidy per tonne, the increase in the cost of rice itself does not in anyway help the common households. “May I remind the Federal Minister of Agriculture and Food Security , Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, that Sabah has eight out of 10 of the poorest districts in Malaysia.” Dear Daily Express reader,Ever since 1963, before the formation of Malaysia, The Daily Express has kept the public well-informed as well as helped shape Sabah & Labuan's development for 60 years.
