KPDN seizes RM50k worth of subsidised LPG in Mantin
SEREMBAN: The Negri Sembilan Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) has foiled an attempt to siphon subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) worth an estimated RM50,000, following a raid on an illegal storage facility in Mantin. Its director, Muhammad Zahir Mazlan, said the raid was conducted under Ops Gasak after a week-long surveillance of the syndicate's activities. He said checks at the premises revealed that it was being used as an illegal storage and transfer point for subsidised gas into unauthorised cylinders, mostly carried out at night to evade detection by the authorities. "The raiding team successfully seized 150 LPG cylinders of various brands and sizes, along with decanting equipment and several business documents believed to have been used in the illegal operation. "The total value of the seizure is estimated to exceed RM50,000. "The case is being investigated under the Control of Supplies Act 1961, which provides for a maximum fine of RM1 million, or imprisonment of up to three years, or both, upon conviction," he said.
