PEKANBARU, Riau: The Riau provincial government is planning to
auction a total of 5,700 tons of sugar from Malaysia, which was
recently confiscated by Riau security personnel from several
ships.

The auction had to be held immediately due to a sugar
shortage, said Raja Bambang Mit, the secretary to the Riau
provincial government.

The 5,700 tons of sugar was confiscated from several ships
dispatching sugar from Port Klang in Malaysia to Pekanbaru, the
capital of Riau province. The ships were nabbed for carrying
sugar without the necessary documents. -- JP
