SERDANG, Aug 25 — Malaysia has yet to decide whether to impose restrictions on seafood imports from Japan following the release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean, said Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.
“No decision has been reached at this point, and we will take a stance if the study reveals any threats to the global population,” he told reporters after officiating at the Mardi Show-Tech organised by the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute here today. Mohamad said the government is now focusing on the security of food supply, especially rice, in response to early warnings from countries like India and Vietnam that may increase prices or stop exporting altogether.
