  "account": "On a recent Friday, a male suspect was detained alongside two colleagues, including a female colleague, at a petrol station in Lahad Datu. However, both the male suspect and the female colleague were subsequently designated as prosecution witnesses. According to the Police Chief, the perpetrator was arrested through an anonymous tip-off that detected misuse of BUDI Diesel subsidies on four occasions, involving a total of 43.01 liters without his knowledge.\n\nThe modus operandi of the suspect involved recording the MyKad numbers of customers who came to top up fuel using the subsidy, then entering the MyKad number into the BUDI Diesel system using the perpetrator's login credentials, bypassing the physical card, and subsequently using the subsidized amount to purchase fuel illegally. The suspect would insert the stolen MyKad number of others and profit from the subsidy fraud, according to Dzulbaharin.\n\nExperts advise the public to be vigilant when handing over their MyKad for fuel purchases and to immediately report any suspicions of BUDI Diesel subsidy misuse to the police.",
