Rice is a major staple food of Malaysian in the daily diet especially to Malays, the largest population in Malaysia as rice is a symbol of traditional Malay culture. There are many of the Malays’ dishes such as Nasi Lemak, Nasi Briyani, Nasi Kerabu and others, most of them are rice-based, meaning that the consumption of rice in Malaysia is relatively high and lead to a high demand of rice in the market. Therefore, rice as an essential commodity plays an important agricultural part in Malaysia and it is subsidising by the Malaysia government. The rice market in Malaysia is in monopolistic competition. The reason for this is that Padiberas National Berhad (BERNAS) is the single firm that has license in importing rice into Malaysia and exporting rice to the neighbouring countries. About 45 percent of local rice demand in Malaysia is controlled by the firm. Further, the demand curve and supply curve of rice are not able to intersect freely and achieve equilibrium in the market due to the government intervention on the price of rice by subsidy.
Subsidy can be defined as an incentive given by the government to groups or individuals to get rid of some burden and is often considered to be interest of the public. There are two types of subsidy; one is granted to the producers in order to stimulate production as subsidy lowers the cost of production of goods whereas the other type of subsidy is given to the consumers in the form of cash rebates or redemption coupon so that they can

Eveline Adomait and Richard Maranta, in their book titled “Cocktail Party Economics” (CPE), discuss certain conditions or characteristics which contribute towards the efficiency of competitive markets. For instance, a well-functioning free market which allows individuals to buy or sell what they want with the available methods that work best for them typifies the concept of freedom. This freedom to buy and sell leads to economic efficiency/surplus (Adomait & Maranta, 2012, p. 111 & 130). Such free markets force supply (marginal cost) to equal demand (marginal benefits) at the market price (Adomait & Maranta, 2012, p. 107), and the price must match the personal benefit of consuming the product (Adomait & Maranta, 2012, p. 108). These conditions

Telling the story of a caged bird and its customers, it demonstrates a connection between itself and the sickly young girl, who comprehends his feelings well enough to let him fly.

It is stated very on that there is no single unifying theme of the work done by Levitt and Dubner in the book Freakonomics. While there may not be one main theme, there are several key concepts that recur throughout the book.
First, the idea of incentives is a major concept in Freakonomics. Levitt says, “economics is, at root, the study of incentive: how people get what they want or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.”
