Diesel syndicate busted in raid on illegal storage facility
SHAH ALAM: A syndicate exploiting fleet cards to obtain subsidised diesel was uncovered in a raid at an illegal storage site in Taman Sri Muda last night. The special operation, which began at around 7pm, was carried out by the Selangor Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry in collaboration with the Selangor police contingent headquarters. During the raid, five individuals were caught red-handed while transferring subsidised diesel from a bonded lorry to a tanker, unaware of the enforcement team's presence. One of the suspects, a man known as Rav, said he was the 'leader' of the other four drivers. "I manage the tanker lorry by transporting it from the store to another location in Shah Alam. I leave the lorry there and someone else will come to pick it up. "I get paid about RM200 a day and have only been working here for six months. This place is rented by my boss named 'Ong' for RM2,000 a month," he said when met at the scene. Selangor Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry director Mohd Zuhairi Mat Radey said the raid followed a month-long intelligence operation, which uncovered diesel transfer activities suspected to be linked to fleet card abuse. "During the raid, we detained five local men, aged between 30 and 45, all working as lorry drivers. "Checks showed the tanker lorry was connected to a bonded lorry modified with IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) tanks," he said during a press conference at the location. Mohd Zuhairi said nine vehicles were seized, including a 30-tonne tanker lorry, four canvas lorries, two bonded lorries, a van and a prime mover. The ministry also confiscated 7,000 litres of diesel worth an estimated RM19,390, 14 IBC tanks, pumps and connecting hoses. Mohd Zuhairi said the premises had no valid licence to store controlled diesel, and the drivers did not possess proper documentation for the fuel. "We found that the drivers used fleet cards and were believed to have purchased the subsidised fuel at petrol stations around Shah Alam. "The diesel was then transferred into the tanker lorries at this site before being sold on the black market," he said. Mohd Zuhairi added that investigations are ongoing to track down the syndicate's mastermind, with the case being investigated under Section 21 of the Supply Control Act 1961.
