PADDY PLANTING IN SABAH 50 YEARS BEHIND TIME

"Countries like Burma, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, India, China, United States, Australia and Indonesia are well ahead in rice production and they are exporting rice to the rest of the world,"

"Sabah is currently importing some RM770 million worth of rice (220,000 tonnes) per year to feed the people. Sabah can only produce three per cent of our rice requirement. What went wrong and where have all the money gone? Maybe it is easier to import than to plant our own!

"The State Agriculture Department has totally failed in its role,"

KK MP Hiew King Cheu
