KPDN records seizure amounting more than RM700,000 in Terengganu from January until yesterday
Its director, Mufsi Lat, said the cases were recorded during inspections at 9,738 premises, including retail shops, supermarkets and wholesale premises in the state.
He said they over the past three years, the results of enforcement actions have shown very encouraging developments.
'In 2024, the value of seizures amounted to RM3.96 million compared to RM997,059.69 in 2023. The value of fines also jumped from RM6,000 in 2023 to RM102,500 in 2024. This indicates that enforcement is now more focused and has succeeded in cracking down on high-value embezzlement cases,' he said at the state-level 53rd KPDN Enforcement Day Celebration here today.
The event was opened by the ministry's Deputy Director General of Enforcement (Prevention), Aris Mamat.
Mohd Mufsi said that apart from that, the KPDN enforcement division in Terengganu also conducted inspections on 293 premises under Ops Tiris and 186 premises under Ops Gasak during the same period.
'For Ops Tiris, we recorded four cases with seizures amounting to RM431,437.60, while for Ops Gasak, seven cases were recorded with the value of seizures amounting to RM68,065.70,' he said.

Restructuring of chicken egg subsidy takes effect tomorrow, industry to offer Special Grade Eggs
The government today announced the restructuring of chicken egg subsidies, to take effect tomorrow. – Photo by Mohd Faisal Ahmad PUTRAJAYA (July 31): The government today announced the restructuring of chicken egg subsidies, to take effect tomorrow (August 1), as part of a phased and targeted subsidy approach aimed at greater sustainability and higher impact. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, in a statement, said the move is in line with efforts to ensure supply security and price stability for chicken eggs. As part of this initiative, it said, the industry has agreed to introduce Special Grade Eggs which will be offered at more affordable prices. It said the public can continue to purchase chicken eggs at competitive prices through the Agro Madani Sale and Rahmah Sale programmes, which are being widely implemented nationwide at sales locations managed by the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (FAMA) and the Farmers' Organisations Authority (LPP). According to KPKM, the government spent nearly RM2.5 billion to subsidise chicken egg prices between February 2022 and December 2024. 'It is a huge amount and temporary in nature to assist both the public and the industry during the Covid-19 pandemic and the global supply chain crisis,' said KPKM. With the market situation now stabilising, it said, the subsidy scheme has been restructured to become more targeted and comprehensive. It said the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) will also continue to strengthen enforcement through close monitoring under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 to combat any form of profiteering or price manipulation by irresponsible parties. 'This step is important to ensure that to ensure that prices charged to consumers remain reasonable and fair,' read the statement. For more information regarding the issue of supply or prices of chicken eggs can be channelled to KPDN's official email at [email protected] or via its hotline at 03-80008000. — Bernama
