BUTTERWORTH: The government will allow the Malayan Sugar Manufacturing Company (MSM) in Perai to remain on its current site for another 10 years under a transitional arrangement, even though its land lease expired last year.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the extension was necessary to facilitate the relocation of the factory in phases, while allowing the Kampung Manis redevelopment project to move forward.
