PETALING JAYA: A total of 8,148 inspections were carried out under Ops Tiris 4.0 (Integrated) between March 16 and April 5, resulting in 155 cases involving controlled goods, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
Fadillah, who is also the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, said 60 cases involved diesel, with seizures valued at more than RM2.1mil.
“Another 47 cases were linked to RON95 petrol, with seizures worth RM51,299, while 21 cases involved liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), amounting to RM37,822,” he said at the special press conference on the global energy crisis on Monday (April 6).
Fadillah added that 27 cases involved other controlled goods, including cooking oil, sugar and wheat flour.
He said Ops Tiris 4.0, which began on March 16, was part of enhanced enforcement efforts to curb leakages and smuggling of subsidised and controlled goods.
“The government’s main focus is not only to ensure supply stability but also to take immediate steps to tighten control and monitoring of distribution,” said Fadillah.
The operation, he added, involves close coordination among multiple enforcement agencies to ensure stricter monitoring and distribution control, particularly amid global uncertainties affecting energy supply.
Fadillah said the government remains committed to ensuring a sufficient supply of essential goods in the domestic market and will continue to take firm action against any form of misappropriation or smuggling.
