Palm oil, palm oil everywhere, but only a few drops to cook…
Only in Malaysia:
Malaysia - world’s second largest palm oil producer. (Indonesia is now the world’s largest producer.)
The “new” Sime Darby - world’s largest listed palm oil producer.
And yet, rationing has been imposed:
5kg buying limit on cooking oil
PUTRAJAYA: Five kilograms – that is the maximum amount of cooking oil that each consumer can buy when a move to solve the shortage of the essential item is enforced… (The Star, 5 Jan)
Now, is that weird or is that weird? We supply palm oil to the world but cannot supply enough to our own people.
