Ops Tiris 3.0, conducted by the Malaysian domestic trade and cost of living ministry (KPDN) between January 1, 2024 and March 27, 2026 as a crackdown on petrol and diesel smuggling, saw over RM32 million worth of petrol and diesel seized, and 667 individuals arrested, Bernama reports.
According to KPDN deputy director-general of enforcement (operations) Shamsul Nizam Khalil, the period saw 38,615 inspections carried out and 1,371 cases recorded.
“KPDN will continue to intensify integrated operations to curb any leakage, smuggling and misappropriation of petrol and diesel. This effort is strengthened through strategic collaboration with other enforcement agencies, including the police, the border control and protection agency (AKPS), the road transport department (JPJ), the immigration department and the customs department.
“KPDN will ensure the stability of supply of controlled goods, namely petrol and diesel, in the market despite geopolitical uncertainties arising from the escalating conflict in West Asia. KPDN has formulated aggressive strategies to address any potential disruptions to global fuel supplies that could impact the national economy,” he said yesterday.
