PETALING JAYA: Measures will be taken to ensure that the food supply chain will not be disrupted during the 14-day total lockdown, says the Agriculture and Food Industries Ministry. "The ministry is committed to ensuring that the food supply chain in Malaysia remains at a stable, adequate and controlled level as well as ensuring access is always available to the public," the statement read. "This supply can be met based on the current stock of 764,000 metric tons available at manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers," he said. "The ministry would like to advise the public not to panic-buy and stockpile food excessively, which can result in situations where there is unequal public access to food supply," he added.
