KOTA BARU: Two enforcement officers were among eight individuals arrested, on suspicion of involvement in a syndicate embezzling 11,050kg of subsidised cooking oil, during an operation by the Kelantan branch of the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN), in collaboration with the Region Three Marine Police Force (PPM), on Thursday (Sept 25).
State KPDN director Azman Ismail said that the two civil servants, aged 27 and 41 years old, from different departments in Rantau Panjang, were believed to have assisted the syndicate at the inspection counter, by facilitating the movement of vehicles carrying subsidised cooking oil across the border.
