Sugar price up 20 cents...

As from today, sugar will cost RM2.30 per kilo, up RM0.20, announced the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry today.

This is the fourth time sugar prices had increased since Jan 1 last year when it was priced at RM1.65 per kilo.

Prior to that, sugar prices were maintained at RM1.45 for a long period. This marks a 58.6 percent increase in less than one-and-a-half years.

According to the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry, by increasing the price of sugar by RM0.20 tomorrow, the government stands to make a saving of RM116.6 million.

Mohd Zain stressed that sugar prices will still be cheaper than regional neighbours such as Indonesia (RM3.80), Singapore (RM3.61), Thailand (RM2.31) and Phillipines (RM4.50). (Apa pasal KDNHEP tak bandingkan harga gula kita dengan negara-negara Afrika seperti Sudan,Mesir,Afrika Selatan)

He said that despite the savings, the government will still fork out RM283.4 million in sugar subsidies.


This follows an increase in RON97 grade petrol to RM2.90 per litre – a record high – just a few days ago.

RON95 grade petrol, which was introduced in September 2009, is the most commonly used. Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak promised RON95 would be maintained at RM1.90 per litre for now.



Aku tak tau pula berapa aku kena bayar untuk teh tarik dan roti canai di gerai Mydeen nanti? Biasanya teh tarik 90 sen dan roti canai 80 sen. Apakah mamak Mydeen akan naikkan harga teh tarik sebanyak 10 sen menjadi RM1.00 walaupun teh tariknya tidak pernah tarok gula???

Terima kasih PM Najib anak Tun Razak kerana keperihatinan mu dan rakyat didahulukan...
