Issue 1 (Paragraph 1): Reduce the sugar subsidy are welcome by consumer but all sectors should relook at the subsidy scheme. Reduction of sugar subsidy will cause the supply curve shift to the left from S1 to S2.

Supply curve are upward slopping because according to the law of supply, when price increase, quantity supplied will increase. This relationship shows that price and quantity supplied are direct relationships. Besides that, demand is inelastic when the elasticity is less than 1, so that the quantity moves are less than the price.
