2 KPDN officers injured during LPG enforcement operation

Two Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) enforcement officers in Selangor were injured while performing their duties during Ops Tiris 4.0, an operation aimed at preventing the misuse of subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) through decanting activities. Decanting refers to the practice of transferring subsidised LPG from one cylinder to another.

The Minister of KPDN, Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, revealed that assistant enforcement officer Mohammad Fauzi Baharuddin suffered serious injuries and is still receiving treatment. Another enforcement officer, R. Yoghanath, sustained minor injuries and was permitted to return home after receiving medical attention. The Minister expressed his heartfelt prayers for Fauzi's full recovery and the strength to endure the treatment process.

He also extended his well wishes and prayers for Yoghanath to regain good health and make a complete recovery. Armizan conveyed his sorrow and sympathy over the incident, highlighting the real risks faced by KPDN enforcement personnel during their field duties. He emphasized the courage and sacrifice of these officers, who often leave their families to carry out their duties, facing unpredictable situations and, at times, risking their own safety to safeguard the interests of the people and the country.

The Minister thanked all KPDN enforcement personnel for their bravery and appealed for the safety of all KPDN personnel engaged in their duties.
