PUTRAJAYA, June 22 — The two main sugar producing companies in Malaysia, MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd and Central Sugars Refinery Sdn Bhd , have been instructed to provide daily sugar production reports since May to ensure there are no disruptions in the supply of the commodity in the country.
Speaking at a press conference after attending the monthly assembly of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living here today, Salahuddin said it was among the measures to ensure sufficient sugar supply, especially ahead of next week’s Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration. “We will monitor seriously ahead of the Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration to ensure that the supply is adequate,” he said, adding that the supply of sugar was also found to be stable after the Ops Manis operation was launched last May.
