BUTTERWORTH: The Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) has asked the government to consider abolishing the Approved Permit and Import Permit for refined sugar following a recent influx of the commodity, says Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek.
The Felda chairman said Malaysia has a surplus of domestically produced sugar and does not require imports, which are sold at the same price as local sugar despite their significantly higher production costs.
