GUA MUSANG: Attempts to smuggle diesel to the areas near the Thai border from other parts of Kelantan are rife to the extent that the Government has to monitor petrol stations located as far as 200km from the border, said the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Department.
According to the deputy state director Alwi Abdul Hamid, the ministry had recently asked all bulk purchasers of diesel in the Gua Musang district like construction companies and logging camps to obtain a special permit first before they were allowed to purchase fuel from petrol stations there.
