Reading the Daily Express newspaper today, the government is proposing sugar refinery in Sabah. Thats a good news for us in Sabah or Sarawak i believe as we facing a lot of sugar shortage as well as price difference with peninsular Malaysia.
This was announce by Domestic Trade, Co-operatives, and Consumerism minister Datuk Ismail Sabri. Sabah in the past also have their own sugarcane plantation and sugar refinery manage by Gula Sabah Sdn Bhd. It was a history now.
Lets hope the government is sincerely enough with the projects this time. I believe it bring more good than harm if they build the sugar refinery plus the sugarcane plantation.
If the government want to built a sugar refinery, please look at Pitas area or Kimanis/Bongawan area. This should help those people stay there by providing them job opportunity.
With the sugar refinery build in Sabah, this should lower the sugar price as by now mostly sugar were imported from peninsular especially Perlis.
