00:00Thank you, Mr. President, for mentioning the food prices.
00:04As I said earlier, in 2022, the price of chicken was out of control.
00:10It was 9.40 ringgit, a ceiling price that no one could sell.
00:14And they increased the price to 1 ringgit, so they sold it for 10.40 ringgit.
00:18That was because of the animal food cartel, which had already been prosecuted in court
00:26for what had been done by MyCC.
00:29So, regarding rice and farmers,
00:33I would like to inform you that MyCC has already prepared a report
00:40on their investigation into the rice and paddy cartel.
00:44But I cannot reveal it here yet, until the official report is released.
00:49But it has already been resolved,
00:53regarding the use of rice and paddy cartels,
00:56and the possibility of misuse of the dominant population
01:00by companies that control the supply of seeds, imports, and so on.
