KUALA LUMPUR - Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi wants Felcra Berhad to formulate Transformation 3.0 to help the government in food security and reduce dependency on imports.

Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Minister of Rural and Regional Development, said the transformation plan should be formulated as soon as possible with three main elements covering social responsibility, commercial value, and helping to achieve food security.

"Come and see me so that I can be a facilitator to empower the programmes that will be formulated.
