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.
