KUCHING (July 24): The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) Sarawak has launched an investigation following a viral complaint about a foreign-registered vehicle purchasing subsidised RON95 petrol at a petrol station in Mile 7 1/2 here. According to KPDN Sarawak director Matthew Dominic Barin, a team of four enforcement officers was dispatched around 10am on July 20 after the incident gained traction on the 'Sarawak Roads Update' Facebook page. 'Inspections were carried out at a petrol station located along Mile 7 1/2 Jalan Kuching-Serian after the viral post garnered public attention,' he said in a statement yesterday. He said the case is being investigated under Regulation 12A of the Control of Supplies Regulations 1974 as well as the Control of Supplies Act 1961, in relation to the directive by the Controller of Supplies prohibiting the sale of RON95 petrol to foreign-registered vehicles. Matthew warned that firm action would be taken against traders or station operators found violating the regulations. 'Offenders under Section 22 of the Control of Supplies Act 1961 face fines up to RM1 million, or imprisonment for up to three years, or both. Repeat offenders could be fined up to RM3 million or jailed for up to five years,' he said. Companies found guilty may face fines up to RM2 million for the first offence and up to RM5 million for subsequent offences, he added.

New app to tackle cooking oil subsidy abuse
KUALA LUMPUR: The Mobile eCOSS (Cooking Oil Stabilisation Scheme) Application will be able to provide data on the demand of cooking oil to curb smuggling and subsidy leakages, says Datuk Seri Armizan Ali ( pic ). The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry said the data will also help in deciding government policy in ensuring the delivery of cooking oil subsidy. 'We didn't have the exact updated data on the usage of cooking oil, but with eCOSS, we will have the purchase data. 'From here, than we can draft the way forward policy to target cooking oil subsidies to those who are eligible,' he said when wrapping up his ministerial replies when debating the Auditor-General's Report in Dewan Rakyat, a first in Parliament. Armizan also said that his ministry has initiated a pilot project on the app in Johor in May. He added that the mobile app would also allow the government to monitor sales of cooking oil to foreigners. 'The application will be rolled out gradually, ensuring system stability before full implementation. 'Through the Mobile eCOSS App, retail purchase data will be recorded, allowing the ministry to monitor retailer sales records and consumer purchase data, including identities based on National Registration Department records. 'This strategy enables monitoring and enforcement against sales and purchases exceeding limits or to foreigners,' he added. The latest A-G report found that the current policy on subsidised cooking oil is not comprehensive and has allowed non-targeted groups, including non-citizens, to benefit from the subsidy. The department said the existing framework under COSS lacked clear eligibility requirements for the purchase of subsidised cooking oil, with the Auditor-General recommending that the ministry improve its COSS guidelines to tackle leakages.
