SUNGAI BULOH: Those with sugar cravings will be hit in their pockets again, with a further hike to the sugar tax to be announced in Budget 2025, says the Health Minister.
Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said this followed the success in reducing sugar consumption by 9.25% nationwide after a 10sen increase in the sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax under Budget 2024, to 50sen per litre.
