Selangor authorities successfully uncovered a scheme involving the misappropriation of subsidized controlled goods, specifically one-kilogramme packets of cooking oil, following a raid in Port Klang. The seized items, valued at RM133,950, were found to be mixed with used cooking oil in a storage tank and allegedly resold to companies processing used oil or distributed through the black market.
The operation, part of the 'Ops Tiris 4.0' initiative, involved the Marine Police and resulted in the detention of a foreign national employed at the premises. Approximately 15,900 kg of cooking oil, along with equipment, was seized for further investigation. The case is being probed under the Control of Supplies Act 1961 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
Selangor KPDN director Muhamad Hanif Asa’ari vowed to intensify monitoring and enforcement against those exploiting subsidized goods.
