How could the budget's support for padi farmers in Kedah affect Mohamad Sabu?

Possible What happens if… A possibility worth considering, not a forecast.

Mohamad Sabu's ministry may see changes in padi farmer support programs The Budget consideration addresses the plight of padi farmers in Kedah, a group that the government must take into account when drawing up financial plans. As Mohamad Sabu holds the official capacity of Agriculture Minister within the governmental structure of Kedah, the final allocation of funds and the structure of the support programs for these farmers directly fall under his ministry's operational mandate. Therefore, the outcome of the Budget process could lead to changes in the scope or funding of agricultural aid programs managed by his department.
