Port Klang raid exposes alleged subsidised cooking oil diversion scheme

The Selangor Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living uncovered RM133,950 worth of misappropriated subsidised cooking oil in Port Klang.

The raid revealed that subsidised cooking oil was mixed with used oil for resale, involving a suspect holding a valid license.

A foreign national was detained under Ops Tiris 4.0, and the case is being investigated under the Control of Supplies Act and AMLATFPUAA 2001.

SHAH ALAM, Oct 21 — The Selangor Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has successfully uncovered the misappropriation of subsidised controlled goods specifically one-kilogramme (kg) packets of cooking oil following a raid on a premises in the Port Klang area, with the seized items valued at RM133,950.

Selangor KPDN director Muhamad Hanif Asa’ari said the suspected modus operandi involved bringing the packets of cooking oil to the premises, where they were mixed with used cooking oil in a dedicated storage tank.

He added that this mixture was allegedly kept for resale to companies that process used cooking oil, or distributed via the black market, in order to generate excessive profits.

“This activity is also believed to involve supplies sourced from parties suspected of holding valid licenses for scheduled controlled goods (CSA). The raid uncovered a large quantity of boxes containing packeted cooking oil, as well as plastic packets that had already been cut open.

“Approximately 15,900 kg of cooking oil, along with various equipment used in this operation including a lorry have been seized for further investigation,” he said yesterday.

Muhamad Hanif stated that the raid was conducted under the integrated ‘Ops Tiris 4.0’ which also involved the Marine Police and resulted in the detention of a foreign national in his 30s, who was employed at the premises, to assist with the investigation.

He added that the case is being investigated under the Control of Supplies Act 1961 [Act 122] and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA 2001) [Act 613].

“The Selangor KPDN will not compromise with any party found to be involved in such syndicates or illicit activities. We will continue to intensify monitoring and enforcement efforts to ensure that no one exploits or misappropriates subsidised controlled goods intended for the public,” he said. — Bernama

雪兰莪州国内贸易及生活成本部在巴生港查获了价值 133,950 令吉的被挪用的补贴食用油。

突击检查发现，政府补贴的食用油与废油混合后进行转售，其中一名嫌疑人持有有效许可证。

一名外国公民在“Tiris 4.0行动”中被拘留，该案件正在根据《物资管制法》和《2001年反洗钱和反腐败法》进行调查。

莎阿南，10 月 21 日讯——雪兰莪州国内贸易及生活成本部 (KPDN) 在对巴生港地区一处场所进行突击检查后，成功查获了一批受补贴管制商品，特别是 1 公斤装食用油，查获物品价值 133,950 令吉。

雪兰莪州消费者发展局局长穆罕默德·哈尼夫·阿萨阿里表示，怀疑的作案手法是将包装好的食用油运到现场，然后在专门的储油罐中与废食用油混合。

他还补充说，这种混合物据称会被转售给加工废食用油的公司，或者通过黑市分销，以牟取暴利。

“据信，此次活动还涉及从涉嫌持有管制物品（CSA）有效许可证的人员处采购物资。突击搜查中发现了大量装有袋装食用油的箱子，以及已被剪开的塑料包装袋。”

“大约15900公斤食用油，以及此次行动中使用的各种设备，包括一辆卡车，已被查获，以作进一步调查，”他昨天说。

穆罕默德·哈尼夫表示，此次突袭行动是在“蒂里斯行动 4.0”的联合行动下进行的，海上警察也参与其中，行动导致一名 30 多岁的外国公民被拘留，该公民受雇于该场所，以协助调查。

他还补充说，该案件正在根据 1961 年《供应管制法》（第 122 号法案）和 2001 年《反洗钱、反恐怖主义融资和非法活动收益法》（第 613 号法案）进行调查。

“雪兰莪州商品及服务税厅（KPDN）绝不向任何参与此类犯罪集团或非法活动的团体妥协。我们将继续加强监控和执法力度，确保无人滥用或挪用本应惠及公众的受补贴管制商品。”他说道。——马新社
