Minister of food and Bulog chief

In my letter of Dec. 13, 'Do we have to import rice?', is the following sentence: "The Bulog chief stated that the supply was adequate and thus no import was needed. On the other hand, the state minister of food, who is one and the same person,..."

The phrase "who is one and the same person" is wrong because the Bulog chief and the minister of food are two different people.

This phrase is not in my original text and can give the wrong impression about me, as if I do not know there are two different people.

Note: You are right. The minister of food is Ibrahim Hasan and the Bulog chief is Bedu Amang. We apologize for the inadvertent error.
