The Perak domestic trade and cost of living ministry (KPDN) has seized 5,070 litres of subsidised diesel after raiding a timber and hardware premises at Kampung Raja Hitam near Ayer Tawar today, following several days of intelligence gathering, Bernama reports.
“A man was found transferring liquid believed to be diesel from a three-tonne lorry into an intermediate bulk container (IBC). Further inspection revealed that the lorry had been modified with the installation of an additional fibre tank at the rear, enabling the transportation of diesel in larger quantities without authorisation,” Perak KPDN director Datuk Kamalludin Ismail said in a statement.
“The diesel collected is believed to have been stored at the location before being resold to industrial parties for profit, in breach of regulations governing controlled goods. Perak KPDN also seized various equipment, including a three-tonne lorry, a skid tank, two IBC tanks, two electric pumps, a fibre tank and four hoses, valued at around RM56,371.40 in total,” he added.
Kamalludin said checks on documents found at the premises uncovered eight invoices, indicating that the suspect had made repeated purchases at a Sitiawan petrol station to accumulate supplies in stages. “Investigations will also be expanded to include the petrol station suspected of supplying diesel to the suspect, including the possibility of licence revocation if found guilty,” he said.

That’s why diesel and petrol cannot be subsidized freely. The difference in price right make someone feels its ok to make easy money out of it.
For individual pick up Truck owner, it should be similar to Liter of Petrol Budi.
For ride hailing driver, the ride hailing app itself can be linked with the KPDN whether the usage is true or not, if not people tend to make it easy money out of it.
For the transportation company similar operation like article above need to be done regularly.
And above all MITI and relevant ministry please consider EV and Solar, make it easy to install solar and no tax, no duty for the EV, but only the SST tax should be applied. No floor price for EV, if the company open up its company here, the 70,000 workers will be absorb into this new companies and same goes to the supplier of CKD parts company, the new companies will need support for the local content.
We shouldn’t rely on oil since we are NET EXPORTING oil country since 2014. (According to Gemini)
but but some silly here keep on insisting on free flow of RM 1.50 for all malaysians. probably he is one of the smugglers.
Malaysia has been a net importer of crude oil since the 2010’s, not a net exporter as u have stated. Also, petrol & diesel are not freely subsidized as u have also mentioned. The govt have already set the terms & conditions for determining which individual, which company, which type of vehicle, that are eligible for such subsidies.

The gomen which helps the low income rakyat with subsidies to fight against higher cost of living is not a fake gomen!
Just be thankful that in Malaysia, you are not in long queues to fill up your tank or to refill your cooking gas (LPG) cylinders due to supply shortages, as that is the real DEEP SH*T being experienced by people in other countries..
