Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has defended the government's move to abolish the sugar subsidy effective today, warning that over consumption of sugar can even affect one's libido.

Officiating the Gerakan national delegates conference (NDC) this morning, he said this was in addition to the diabetic symptoms that he had warned in his budget speech yesterday, such as poor vision, gangrene and being dependent on a dialysis machine.

"There is one more thing: Your libido might also be affected. I think if the late (Gerakan president) Lim Keng Yaik was here, he will put it in a more colourful manner.

"I leave it to your imagination. I am not going to say what I think he would have said," Najib told the Gerakan delegates, who burst into laughter. Najib spoke in the hall bearing Lim's name.

He then went on to criticise the opposition's tendency to oppose any government initiative without regard to its consequences ,and said such opposition was not constructive.
