BUKIT MERTAJAM, Aug 5 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on local plantation companies that have large land reserves to plant vegetables and fruits to cover the country’s growing food needs.
“This is a medium-term measure that we can take to deal with the rising cost of living. Malaysia is fertile, why aren’t there enough vegetables and fruits? It’s a matter of supply and demand. Regarding the government’s plans to stabilise the value of the ringgit against foreign currencies, especially the US dollar, Anwar said the issue was very complex because it was related to the effects of economic actions taken by the United States which were beyond Malaysia’s control.
