The Sungai Besar Fishermen's Association (PNKSB) has been fined RM320,000 by the Sessions Court in Kuala Selangor for misusing subsidised diesel meant for fishermen. The court found that the association had allowed an unlicensed third party to manage the sale of the fuel, which violated the eligibility conditions for a retail licence for controlled goods.
The first case was detected on March 5, 2024, while the second was detected on July 30, 2024. The total fine imposed for both charges is RM160,000 each.
