Sugar War....

I think most ppl already very frustrated with the "Sugar Habis" issue for quite some weeks.... Had the goverment take some effective measures to investigate and stop the spread of the "virus" going from 2 state from now almost 5 state having reporting it. Lots of reason is given i.e. smuggling & manufacturer lowering output etc......

I thought it was mainly ppl spreading the so called "Gula Habis" rumours just to make the Govt lift the ceiling price of the sugar (control item). Suprisingly until last week i went Tesco (Penang) and found that there are really no sugar on the sugar rack??!! Imagine such a big hypermart without sugar??!! Therefore i start observing other ppl coming to the sugar corner to find sugar & consumer really need to look for "sugar pack" (those some pack for coffee & tea in hotel) are the onli source the consumer can get....... Its really a serious matter where i think the Govt is not paying attention to. Just put another analogy where u need to start opening 20-30 packs of coffee sugar to get ur herbal tea boiled..... haha..!!!

Therefore i think Govt should look into this seriously n start buckle-up & put mens & womens to the floor to investigate the culprits behind the "Sugar War" problem bringing to our consumer. We often louds to be a develop nation by 2020 but behind that we have a very fundamental problem of not getting the sugars to the ppl...... Let's take it as a wake-up call to the Govt. that "ENFORCEMENT" is the key to our success to a develop nation. If we can't solve the minor issue regarding our daily life, don't bare hope in the future.......

If there are smuggling, then stop it using enforcement officers. If sugar producer don't agree with the ceiling price then negotiate with the ministry.... consumer are crying for someone to keep the food industry going forward......

updates 6/14 : Today the MB of Terengganu needs to sell sugar in a lorry to ease sugar shortage...... kudos to this kind of MBs which is concern about the public issue!!
