"I was informed that the Paddy and Rice Regulatory Division conducts routine operations consistently. Last Saturday, KPB also carried out an operation and confiscated rice at a mill here," he told reporters after participating in a monitoring operation at a rice mill here today. So far, the OP BPT task force has conducted inspections on eight rice wholesalers and six rice manufacturers in this state to detect any activities of hoarding rice, changing packaging, and mixing local white rice with imported white rice, he added.
Addressing the proposal from some parties to raise the Paddy Price Subsidy Scheme rate, Chan said the new government had recently increased it from RM360 per metric tonne to RM500 per metric tonne in August.
