Illegal transport: Comm Kamarul Zaman inspecting the modified fuel pumps that were installed in a delivery truck, believed to be used by a syndicate to misappropriate subsidised diesel.

JOHOR BARU: The delivery trucks go from one petrol station to another to fill up. The two to six modified fuel drums they carry can each take 1,000 litres of diesel.

Once both are full, the delivery trucks go to a secluded area where a tanker lorry awaits. The fuel is transferred and the RM2.15 per litre diesel now in the tankers is sold to ships and factories at fat profits.
