Government planning to end sugar subsidy to promote healthy living
KUALA LUMPUR: The Government may remove its subsidy on sugar as a way to get Malaysians to become more healthy.
The removal of the subsidy could increase the price of sugar by almost 70%, and this should discourage people from consuming so much of it.
Currently, the Government spends about RM720mil a year subsidising sugar.
The move has been proposed by various consumer groups.
The National Health and Morbidity Survey in 2006 revealed that 43.1% of Malaysian adults were overweight or obese, double the number from a decade ago.
Some 25% of deaths in government hospitals were due to circulatory diseases and strokes linked to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar content and obesity.
