00:00 Before watching the video, I remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04 The local white rice has been out of stock in the five-state market for more than half a year.
00:09 First of all, Anhua admitted that the authorities were not enough in terms of law enforcement and supervision,
00:14 which led to the disappearance of local white rice in the domestic market.
00:18 Anhua spoke at the Changyue meeting of the Ministry of Finance today,
00:22 asking the relevant units to enforce more strict law enforcement,
00:25 including regular testing and investigation of white rice issues.
00:28 At the same time, Anhua also ordered an investigation into the rising food prices.
00:32 Anhua said that the food raw materials on the market today,
00:35 including white rice and chicken, have already been reduced.
00:38 But there are still many reports that food prices have risen.
00:41 Therefore, he wants the relevant units to investigate this.
00:46 Although I do not deny that the price of rice is sometimes high on the market.
00:51 I saw a friend who commented to me that the price of rice has fallen,
00:56 sugar has fallen, and chicken has fallen compared to two or three years ago.
01:01 But the food prices have risen.
01:04 Prime Minister Anhua said at the Changyue meeting of the Ministry of Finance today
01:08 that the price of white sugar and white rice in the five states is the lowest in Southeast Asia.
01:11 But this also brings some problems.
01:13 He used Sabah, the 18th island as an example to explain.
01:16 The Sabah island is a special geographical location,
01:18 and is a island controlled by our country and Indonesia.
01:20 But two-thirds of Indonesians can also buy sugar and white rice from our country at a low price.
01:25 Therefore, it is important to implement targeted subsidies.
01:28 Sabah island is one third of the Malaysian population,
01:32 and two thirds of the Indonesian population.
01:35 But the need for raw oil, rice, sugar, everything is for one island.
01:40 So we subsidize two thirds of the population.
01:45 That's why I said targeted subsidies are important.
