JOHOR BARU, — The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) Johor branch has mobilised 187 enforcement officers and personnel to monitor the targeted diesel subsidy implementation statewide.
State KPDN director Lilis Saslinda Pornomo said that her team carried out inspections at petrol stations both in urban and rural areas in preparation for the fuel price change, starting at 5pm yesterday until 12am today.
She said the move was to ensure that petrol stations do not engage in irregularities in the supply of controlled goods including closing the premises, running out of diesel supply, damaged pumps, conditional sales and refusing to sell or hide supplies.
“The result of the inspection found that a petrol station is suspected of selling diesel using containers exceeding 20 litres without a valid licence,” she said in a statement today.
