Clearing the air on purpose of ongoing Ops Gasak
THE Cooking Gas Operation (Ops Gasak) is currently underway from May 1 to Oct 31, 2025. Its main focus is to curb illegal activities such as decanting, smuggling, and misuse of cooking gas by medium- and large-scale industries. The legal authority underpinning Ops Gasak is the Supply Control Act 1961, the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011, and the Supply Control (Amendment) Regulations 2021, known as PPKB (Amendment) 2021. This operation does not introduce any new policy or regulation, let alone involve any cutting or removal of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) subsidies, as alleged by certain parties.
