MELAKA: What was supposed to be a routine press conference on the seizure of subsidised diesel ended up with Melaka police and the state Domestic Trade and Consumer Ministry (KPDNHEP) enforcement division at loggerheads over who was behind the success.

The police had told the media that the 2pm raid on Thursday, which led to the recovery of subsidised fuel worth RM186,000 at a Krubong store, was carried out by the force and that Melaka police chief Datuk Zainol Samah would hold a press conference that afternoon.
