- He said the issue should be investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in connection with delays in the supply of Fertilizer 3.
A paddy-planting aid scheme meant to serve as a lifeline for farmers may be doing more for agricultural-input companies than for the people who work the fields, Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md. Nor said.
Sanusi said the alleged imbalance should be among the issues investigated by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. His remarks came in connection with the commission’s inquiry into delays in the supply of Fertilizer 3.
