No more imported food at official events, Anwar tells civil service



PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has directed all government departments to cease using imported goods, particularly food, at official events, in a bid to promote local products.
Speaking at the finance ministry’s monthly assembly, Anwar said that using local produce would not only bolster the local economy but would also open wider opportunities for local farmers to market their goods.

“If every government department follows this directive, it will create more opportunities for our farmers to supply local food ingredients,” he said.


The prime minister also cited the example of neighbouring countries whom he said were committed to using local food products at all official functions.

“In Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand, I’ve never been served imported food at any government-hosted official event. It’s automatic for them to ensure that only local food is served,” he said.

Anwar also criticised the preference by some parties for imported food products despite the government’s clear stance.

Calling the practice inconsistent with efforts to empower the local economy, he urged civil servants and officials to be more mindful of the need to support homegrown produce

Then nasi lemak only then Bois

We literally only know this food

As usual kerajaan sepenggal.
Always look for easy shortcut instead of studying why we don't have much local produce.

Pak Lah already provide a right track two decades ago but this guy where got brain to revisit that policy.

no more imported food but will subtitute it with things like potong kaki drink, kuih, kuah banjir, cheese meleleh

Hahahahahaha


Our only saving grace are nasi lemak , nasi karabu , durian and what else ?

More kang kung then

Their official government event cost lesser than MB travel allowances.

.

Bak Kut T~ eh wait kenot

Tak boleh, i think they serve with halal only . Our best shot to attract hala investor

U better use all ur convoy in proton and perodua badge as well pmx

i dont understand if just meetings

why need to serve food at all?

My bad , it is event

lawak bodo. now food for function also will have kasta. pegawai rendah function = must pakai lokal food. mentari function = must branded lokal food at least one item rest all kasi impot lobster, make it closed door function.

good idea actually

so tak boleh ada epal la nanti?

Langsat , rambutan , nangka , cempedak , nenas ngan limau

Limited supply.
Most tropical fruits are imported from neighbouring countries!

Majority of Malaysia food are imported.
The rice flour & other ingredients for kueh are imported.

Air jangan ada Evian k

Why MUST have food at all? Just a bottle of mineral water and complete what had to be done ASAP. Do away with all these excesses. Isn’t this is what he said when he first took office? No need grand receptions?

Oh, Malaysians mudah lupa pula…

Takbley. Support local makan timun je.
Roti pun takboley sebab pakai gandum.

Event raya cina nanti pakai longgok limau kasturi je. Limau cina harom.

You do know there are halal BKT now, right?

Pisang, manggis, durian, jambi, mangga and what else

exactly

makan petang nanti Rm5 nasi lemak kao dim

all those food will be wasted anyways if not finished

But ‘strategic partners’ need to Cari makan gua….

This limited supply is enough for official event

From here demand will start to pick up

Then more farmers will plant other tropical local fruits instead fo Musang king

they are after doubloons not some measly assortments of dishes plated in an event

these pirates i tell ya, 1 min they parley the next, 'tie a noose around his neck'

then must show case liao

No more Evian water for goverment events after this since it is imported…

That's why vote or don't vote. Same outcome

Msia don't have large fruits cultivation unlike other Asean countries. Lagi there is hardly any economy of scale or real long term gomen support for these sectors.

Fruits farming tak ada gaya, labour intensive, require long working hours, kerja mcm 3D job and mesti ada commitment for years/decades.
Young Msian do not see fruit farming as a good career thus they don't take up their parents' fruit orchard and many orchards are left idle.

Need crispy rendang chicken

shit quality also eat? lol, then let kabinet eat shit lor

Dunno but I read somewhere there are Malays sellers for this in Malaysia. Maybe they call chick out teh or they sue beef . Cannot recall but I think it was featured in this forum as well.
