Sugar and fuel prices to go up again

'Rise in sugar, fuel prices will not burden rakyat'

The latest increase in sugar and fuel prices will not burden the rakyat too much, says Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Deputy Minister Tan Lian Hoe.

"The rise in sugar price does not give a big impact to consumers as every household only uses an average of 5kg a month; the (20 sen) price increase per kg only costs them RM1 extra a month," the deputy minister told the Dewan Rakyat during the Question Time today.

In his reply to Che Uda Che Nik (PAS-Sik), the deputy minister explained that the rise in fuel prices also represent a minute increase for the average road user.

  5. Better just reduce the use of sugar, one of our country's health problem have to do with diabetes due to high sugar consumption. Even if the price of sugar does not go up, making the move to reduce sugar consumption is better for the health.

  6. Kenapa harga gula dinaikkan? Baik tidak perlu menggunakan gula cuma gunakan susu junjung sahaja.

  7. Kenaiikan harga tidak menguntungkan mana2 pihak. Rakyat kena pandai bertindak dengan bijak, dan menggunakan gula tidak berlebihan untuk menjimatkan lagi kos pembelian.

  8. Kurangkan penggunaan gula dan kurangkan mengguna kenderaan sendiri bila pergi ke mana2. Kadang2 bila subsidi diberikan oleh kerajaan ke atas gula dan minyak, ada pula yang salahguna dengan menyeludup barang2 ini ke negara jiran.
