Alarming facts

The alarming fact that UN Food and Agricultural Organization research shows the level of self sufficiency in food supply globally shows most nations depend on import of food.Keeping the supply chain open is vital for food security. Only Guyana a South American nation achieved self sufficiency in 7 of the critical 7 categories of common food staples.but temember its a small nation with a low population of 800,000.But the admirable nations both communist states that are ranked 2nd and 3rd are China with a population of 1.4 billion and Vietnam with 101 million which is the third most populous state in South East Asia. What is wrong with Malaysia that we even import staple like rice,potato,green vegetable,onion and garlic.Are they looking after the rice bowl of the average people or are the politicians too busy with war of words or not bothered to help us cari makan. Why keep on increasing the cost of living of the rakyat ?When political in. fighting scares away investors like the fight between Petronas and Sarawak Petros sees a US billion dollar investment cancelled and the governments cash cow has to downsize by retrenching its workforce ,what are the economic consequences on employment and lower domestic consumer demand in time of external global trade war and tariffs.Look at what may happen like in Japan where people queue long lines just to buy rice teleased by government stockpile as the price of rice skyrockets .Building skyscrapers would not feed hungry stomachs nor construct Madani city at a time the Forest City has become a world renowned Ghost city while the average citizens turns into hungry ghosts. imposing sales tax on healthy fruits is gonna see Malaysians with increase in obesity and rise in health problems.like cancer and heart attack.Fruits and vegetables are listed as non essential food items.But research shows they provide fiber,trace minerals ,healthy fats like avocado and anti inflammatory effects of oranges,lemon,berries and not much of it is found in local fruits that cost a bomb from durian,durian belanda,chempedak or dragon fruit.So a heavily carbohydrate starch based and meat based diet will see increase in colon cancer,stomach cancer or diabetes. If the govt is so cash strapped,why increase the salaries of all employees in the civil service while passing the burden to average rakyat who face increase in cost of living.
