MPs concerned over decision to allow refineries to sell both conventional and non-price controlled sugar

KUALA LUMPUR: Several lawmakers have expressed concern over the government's decision allowing two sugar refineries, currently selling price-controlled conventional granulated sugar to also sell Refined White Sugar Jernih (also known as pure refined white sugar) that is non price-controlled.

Cha Kee Chin (PH-Rasah) questioned whether this could result in manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers conspiring to seemingly make it as if the controlled sugar products were always out of stock.
