AI Summary
The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) Perak seized 36,000 liters of diesel in a raid on a workshop in Simpang, Taiping. The raid, part of Ops Tiris, followed a week-long surveillance operation. The syndicate's modus operandi involved procuring diesel from fishing boats and dishonest lorry drivers who stole fuel from their employers. The diesel, purchased at RM2.15 per liter, was then sold on the black market for RM2.45 per liter. A 30-year-old man, claiming to be a lorry driver, was unable to produce any authorization documents. Authorities seized the diesel, two lorries, a skid tank, and 22 IBC tanks, totaling RM292,840. The case is being investigated under the Control of Supplies Act 1961.
