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.

LPP Deputy Director-General (Development) Amir Mat Amin said the rice will be supplied to 40 premises under LPP, namely 23 Peladang Outlets (PO), eight Farmers’ Organisation Agro Bazaars and nine Kedai Peladang.

Dato’ Menteri Besar berkata lembah terbabit berpotensi menawarkan peluang ekonomi yang baik memandangkan kawasan terlibat meliputi Petaling Jaya hingga Klang sudah memiliki kemudahan serta infrastruktur lengkap.
