His deputy minister Datuk Rosol Wahid said the ministry discovered that the Malayan Sugar Manufacturing (MSM) Co. Bhd factory in Perai, Penang, was recently facing a technical problem which resulted in a shortage of sugar stocks in the East Coast States.

“So there is no supply problem, only delayed deliveries following the problem at the MSM plant in Perai but I am being told that the plant is operational again,” he said. today.
Rosol was speaking at a press conference after visiting the Central Sugar Refinery (CSR) Sdn Bhd factory here to inspect the operation and production of the manufacturer-level sugar supply for national needs from the country.
“We are satisfied with the result of the visit and at the same time, the Perai plant has become operational again.
“Sugar is a necessity and we are not doing it to become a new food shortage problem in our country,” he added. – Bernama
