Brighter days for Sarawak rice ...



Sarawak rice fields.

So, how come rice is cheaper in the Philippines?

What makes the Filipino rise to the gloom of food crisis?

Apparently, it is "effective use of logistics and timely market infusion of the commodity". Meaning they work hard and they work smart. Yeah, but you say Malaysia pun boleh! In Malaysia sure got people boleh one---like KJ and the 2M boys boleh! The rest of Malaysians are A to Z excluding K,J,M,A and B!

In Philippines, the average price for rice to the less affluent is RM1.35 per kg (P18.25) and RM1.85 per kg (P25) at "accredited" stores. In Malaysia, you get maybe 500gms or less for RM1.35.

So do you salivate only?

The good news is Musa Hitam is going to plant rice in Sarawak. He can't wait to start. I really think he can. We should then hope for golden harvests with that effort---no two ways about it. We can look forward to brighter days!

I have a feeling fried rice is going to "naik"!
