No issue with sugar supply, says Salahuddin


JOHOR BARU: The government's move of approving some 37 companies to import sugar is not an indication that there is a lack of sugar problem in the country, says Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub.

Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister said that it was not an out-of-the-ordinary move and that it had nothing to do with the supply of sugar.
