INDONESIA's home minister called for a police investigation into the suspected contamination of rice with plastic, saying it may be an attempt at sabotaging the government, media reported on Monday.
President Joko Widodo has called for calm after reports that tainted rice may have caused the hospitalisation of a girl in Medan on Sunday and made some customers at a food market in Bekasi sick last week.
