• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to develop it to show the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance that he is out of order. He is out of order by saying that it is in the wrong Ministry. We have killed our rice industry because we never gave our farmers incentives to develop production of rice that is sufficient for the region. It is the same thing with maize and wheat.

I am glad that we are trying very hard to face the scourges of terrorism and the problems in our neigbouring countries. However, I seek two clarifications from the Minister’s Statement.
