KOTA KINABALU: Selling subsidised cooking oil packets at inflated prices on social media sparked suspicion, leading to the arrest of a local man and RM20,579.30 in controlled goods seized.
State Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) director Georgie Abas said the illegal operation was revealed after undercover officers, posing as customers, contacted the seller and were instructed to come to a house address given via WhatsApp.
