KUALA LUMPUR – The issue of alleged white rice with gravy for Supplementary Food Programme (RMT) catered to students in a school has been resolved.
Minister of Education, Datuk Dr. Mohd. Radzi Md. Jidin said that the food was not RMT food as alleged.

“At the moment, the milk allocation for RMT students has been increased from twice a week to every school day beginning 2021,” he added.
Earlier, Radzi ordered for an investigation on the rice with gravy allegation to ensure the welfare of the students after a Facebook user uploaded a picture of the alleged RMT food received by the students of a school. -MalaysiaGazette
