KOTA KINABALU: A cooking oil repacking company is under investigation for allegedly distributing subsidised cooking oil in 1kg packets to unauthorised retailers.

Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry branch in Sandakan said a compliance audit last week found that 13-tonne, around 38% of the company's total allocation of 34-tonne cooking oil, had been delivered to unapproved premises.
