PUTRAJAYA: Two local sugar manufacturers, Central Sugars Refinery Sdn Bhd (CSR) and MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd (MSM), are being used to hold buffer stocks of refined white sugar, says Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.

In a statement on Friday (Jan 14), he said the move was taken since the beginning of the year to avoid future sugar supply issues in the market.
