Crackdown on smuggling of cooking oil to intensify

KLANG: The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry will intensify enforcement to curb the smuggling and misappropriation of subsidised cooking oil to neighbouring countries.

Its minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi admitted that the crime was rampant in states bordering neighbouring countries including Kedah, Kelantan, Sabah and Sarawak due to the high price of the commodity on the global market.
