Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has warned fertilizer companies that failing to deliver could result in their contracts being cancelled. He ordered the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to review delays in the distribution of additional compound fertiliser, known as Baja 3, to farmers in the Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA) area.
Anwar emphasized that the company responsible for the delays must be held accountable, and if they fail to fulfill their obligations, no action should be taken against paddy farmers. The PM highlighted the issue in Kedah, where farmers have protested against the delays, causing frustration. He requested the MACC to investigate the cause of the delays, identify the companies entrusted with the supply, and determine if any leakage occurred.
