rice self-sufficiency in Malaysia
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/indias-rice-export-ban-can-malaysia-consider-holistic-food-security-solutions-white-rice-alternatives-233013997.html
Rice is a staple that Malaysians can't get enough of. Yet, supply shortages and exorbitant prices have recently caused much distress.
For context, Malaysia is a rice producer, recording local production figures of 1.68 million tonnes in 2021 and 1.57 million tonnes in 2022. Also, the country has been importing about 30 per cent of its rice consumption annually for the last three decades.
Anni Mitin, vice president of the Malaysian Agroecology Society for Sustainable Resource Intensification (SRI-Mas), warns that proper plans need to be mapped out beforehand if Malaysia is really serious about cultivating the rice.
For the record, the government is targeting to hit 75 percent by 2025 under the 11th Malaysia Plan and 80 percent self-sufficiency under the National Agrofood Policy 2021-2030. The ultimate goal should be full self-reliance.
That said, there are also other rice variants that could be looked into and developed, such as heirloom rice.
This is a special kind of indigenous rice that has over 300 varieties and is currently being cultivated in Sabah and Sarawak. It has been turning the heads of chefs, health enthusiasts and farmers due to its chewy texture and nutritional value.
To be clear, alongside India, Malaysia also imports rice from Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam.
It is important to note that the dietary habits of Malaysians have changed over the years, with the consumption of rice per capita actually declining significantly since the 1970s; from approximately 120kg to 77kg last year.
Muneeb believes that the government should look at comprehensive solutions that seek to maximise existing spaces.
"We need to make edible landscapes rather than just beautiful ones. We also have to increase biodiversity and (possibly) change the types of food we consume and go back to our local heritage," he adds.
Hence, Muneeb’s point about the need to possibly develop other foods, beyond just rice, is valid.
Besides importing rice, the government should think of investing in rice fields in other countries, besides banning exporting in certain countries due to low production, climate change and political conflict may cause a shortage of it.

Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub
https://ipaper.thesundaily.my/epaper/viewer.aspx?publication=The%20Sun%20Daily#page/8
当作孩子般教导 沙拉胡丁华裔助理：他绝不种族主义 - 地方 - 今日焦点 - 大柔佛焦点 (sinchew.com.my)
a distinguished gentleman of the highest caliber and a minister of extraordinary pedigree.
Salahuddin embraced five core thrusts that were important for the people:
1. Mitigating the costs of living
2. Affordable and quality healthcare
3. Affordable and quality education
4. Dignified employment
5. Affordable and quality housing
He diligently responded to all his messages, as do his officers. Salahuddin openly declared that he would remain unchanged and accessible to all, whether in power or not.
When Salahuddin was helming the Agriculture Ministry, he concurred on the importance of pursuing a holistic food security policy.
Salahuddin was always on the pulse of the nation and the issues
his staunch belief in sheer compassion with initiatives
aimed to defuse the rising cost of food, fuel, fertilisers and animal feed
We will miss him and person with his calibre in our leadership.

Bring Sekolah Wawasan to life
Shutting vernacular schools doesn’t do anything, Bersatu man tells Rina (msn.com)
MCA slams Rina Harun's call to shut vernacular schools (msn.com)
We should implement Sekolah Wawasan where they teach all subject in Malay, English, Mandarin, Tamil as option except language.
We should have Malay, English, Tamil, Mandarin, Arab, French, Latin Languages with Malay compulsory and other option.
This way all the student will be able to mix in Malay language, Spot, Art , Extra Curricular etc.
Implement Basic Income
Implement Basic Income for all citizen, permanent resident, working permit holder by sourcing fund from GST, lifting all subsidies. (petrol, diesel, gas, electric, food subsidies etc).
This will reduce pressure on salary, improve competition.
Using EPF savings as collateral contradicts concept of retirement funds, says Dr Wee (msn.com)
I think is a good idea, EPF do not need to divest due to withdrawal, but basic income is better.
