Menteri Komunikasi Fahmi Fadzil sebelum ini dilaporkan berkata Selangor akan menjadi negeri pertama sebagai hos bagi siri Jelajah Madani peringkat negeri.

“Various efforts are being taken to continue promoting Hoho, including through social media, and collaborations with influencers, media and other stakeholders,” he said during a media familiarisation trip in Sepang yesterday.

The state government, Amirudin said, had established the Selangor Rice and Rice Regulatory Authority (KSPDS) to handle issues related to shortages of stock in shops and markets.

"Namun, hasrat kerajaan negeri ini merupakan pelaksanaan yang membabitkan satu dasar besar dan memerlukan sokongan kewangan daripada kerajaan Persekutuan, selain kelulusan serta kebenaran daripada pemilik tanah berkaitan," katanya.

Amid reports of delays in Selangor over the land acquisition for the project, Amirudin said the matter was under a special committee comprising state and ECRL representatives.
