Traders May Use Subsidised LPG Until Regulation Amendments Finalised
GENERAL PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Micro and small-scale traders in the food and beverage sector may continue using subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders without a special permit until the amendments to the Control of Supplies Regulations (PPKB) 2021 are finalised this October. Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said no legal action will be taken against this group of traders during the transition period. 'Small and micro food and beverage traders will be allowed to obtain supplies of subsidised LPG cylinders without the need for a scheduled controlled goods permit,' he told a press conference here. He said the Cabinet, in its meeting today, agreed to the ministry's proposal to amend the regulations, which initially came into effect on Oct 15, 2021, under the previous administration. Armizan added that the amendments would, among others, take into account the specific needs of micro and small-scale food and beverage traders, while also ensuring legal clarity in terms of compliance and enforcement. Armizan said the ministry aims to finalise the amendments once Op Gasak concludes on Oct 31. He added that enforcement against leakages involving illegal decanting activities and misuse by industrial users under Op Gasak would continue. 'The Op Gasak report will serve as a basis for us to determine the way forward in ensuring we have suitable legal provisions that are clear and take into account the needs of those providing services to the public, especially food and beverage businesses,' he said. He added that the amendment process will be coordinated through a technical committee established on May 1, chaired by the ministry's secretary-general, and involving relevant ministries and agencies.

Japan Convenience Store Chains Start Selling Gov't Stockpiled Rice
TOKYO, June 5 (Bernama-Kyodo) -- Two major convenience store chains in Japan began selling government-released stockpiled rice at select stores in Tokyo and Osaka on Thursday, joining major supermarkets and e-commerce platforms in a move to increase availability of the staple food for consumers struggling with soaring rice prices, Kyodo News Agency reported. The outlets of Family Mart Co. and Lawson Inc. will sell the rice from the 2021 harvest in small portions to make it affordable for people, including those living alone. While many other retailers sell it in bags of five kilograms (kg) for about 2,000 yen (US$14), Family Mart sets the price of its one kg package at 388 yen, and Lawson's is at 389 yen and 756 yen for two kg. Both will limit their sales to one package per customer.

Foreign transaction firms must boost AMLA compliance diligence
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian business owners engaged in international transactions are advised to maintain comprehensive records and promptly report any suspicious activity to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to ensure compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001(AMLA). Lawyer Guok Ngek Seong, who has nearly 25 years of experience in civil and criminal litigation, told Bernama that companies operating in high-risk sectors such as maritime, petroleum and logistics, which frequently conduct foreign exchange transactions, must exercise heightened diligence in documenting their operations. He was speaking on the matter in light of recent actions taken by BNM, which imposed administrative monetary penalties amounting to RM4.95 million on several financial institutions for breaches of statutory and regulatory obligations. The penalties involved non-compliance with provisions under the Development Financial Institutions Act 2002 as well as failures to adhere to requirements under the Anti-Money Laundering, Countering Financing of Terrorism and Targeted Financial Sanctions for Financial Institutions Policy Document. These regulatory actions reflect the heightened scrutiny placed on financial and corporate entities, reinforcing the need for robust compliance measures, especially in sectors exposed to cross-border transactions. Guok stressed that proper record-keeping may constitute a key line of defence should a company come under investigation for alleged money laundering or involvement in unlawful activities. 'BNM has the authority to conduct annual checks on such entities to ensure compliance with AMLA regulations,' he said. When asked whether litigants may obtain court orders through pre-action discovery or the Norwich Pharmacal process, Guok explained that such orders are available to parties seeking disclosure from individuals or entities not directly involved in the anticipated proceedings. He noted that Norwich Pharmacal orders permit a litigant to compel a third party, who is not itself implicated in the alleged wrongdoing but is mixed up in it innocently, to disclose information necessary to identify or pursue the actual wrongdoer. 'However, the court must balance such applications to prevent any form of abuse or 'fishing expeditions', particularly in light of, among other considerations, the principle of banker-client privilege. 'It is sometimes crucial for clients to obtain documents from banks, especially in cases where suspicious transactions have been traced to accounts held by corporations later found to be involved in fraudulent activities,' he said. He said the only viable means for victims to substantiate such transactions is by obtaining the relevant documentation, which may be instrumental in identifying the mechanisms or systems employed to facilitate the fraudulent activity. Commenting on the Bankers' Books (Evidence) Act 1949 (BBEA), Guok noted that while Section 6 restricts the compellability of bank officers to produce bankers' books where the bank is not a party to the proceedings, the court nonetheless retains the discretion to issue such an order where appropriate. 'The court must balance the interests of banker-client confidentiality against the issues in the particular suit before making appropriate orders. 'While some discovery applications may be deemed an abuse of process, others are genuine, especially when litigants require documents from banks to trace the money trail in their cases,' he added.
