 @Hellclanner i love betaPod :) Date joined: 25 Apr 07Total posts: 525 Location: Woodlands, Singapore | News source: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific_business/view/321067/1/.html Malaysia faced serious wheat and cooking oil shortages. This was a problem China earlier on was facing too. Currently, what Malaysia is doing now is to ration 5 kilograms (approximately 11 pounds) of cooking oil per customer. Quote: Channel Newsasia Supermarket shelves were stripped of cooking oil in several states last week, with retailers not able to replenish supplies fast enough. The government blamed the situation on the "smugglers who cash in on subsidised Malaysian oil by moving it to neighbouring countries." but however, the government failed to provide the people its basic needs. Quote: Channel Newsasia The parliamentary opposition slammed the measures, which it said were harming restaurants, consumers and vendors and was proof of the government's failure to provide basic needs for the people. "The nationwide cooking oil shortage which plagued the country is not something new, as previously we faced similar shortages in diesel, sugar and flour supply," it said. "The government should be ashamed ...it is a great irony that we are short of cooking oil even though we are the largest palm oil producer and exporter in the world." it's going to be chinese new year and prices will go up. cooking oil is going to be very expensive these days in malaysia. |
