PKFZ sedia bantu audit dakwaan minyak sawit ‘koktel’
Pengerusinya Lim Lip Eng berkata penguatkuasaan ketulenan dan pematuhan produk terletak di bawah bidang kuasa agensi berkaitan termasuk MPOB.
Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) is prepared to fully cooperate with authorities regarding concerns over the import of palm oil mixed with local supply, according to its chairman Lim Lip Eng. PKFZ operates under the Free Trade Zone Act, while the certification and compliance of products falls under the jurisdiction of relevant agencies.
These agencies include Malaysia Palm Oil Board (MPOB), SIRIM, Malaysia Quarantine and Inspection Department (MAQIS), and the Malaysia Industrial Development Authority for Greenfield Development (CIDB).
Lim's statement emphasized that PKFZ will provide full support, including providing necessary reports and facilitating any audit requests. Following an earlier report by The Edge, industry players have expressed concerns that unauthorized mixing of imported palm oil with local supply could negatively impact Malaysia's exports and the industry's reputation.
R Jeyenderan warned that unknown origin mixed imports could lead to failure to meet EU End of Waste Regulation (EUDR) requirements, negatively affecting the credibility of Malaysia Palm Oil Standard (MSPO) and discouraging domestic exporters who comply with regulations.
