Yip Hon Weng on Food Safety and Security Bill
The Food Safety and Security Bill is a step in the right direction but its success depends on addressing key concerns, such as ensuring that the Minimum Stockholding Requirement (MSR) supports rather than hinders local farmers’ efforts towards the “30 by 30” food sustainability goal. MP Yip Hon Weng said this in Parliament on Wednesday (Jan 8). He also noted that enforcement of personal food import allowances must be practical and clearly communicated to avoid unfair penalties, and that food donation initiatives should be encouraged and not discouraged, by ensuring sufficient legal protection for volunteers and donors.
