IPOH: The Perak Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry office has seized 19,000 litres of liquid, suspected to be diesel fuel, and equipment worth RM60,550 in a raid on a construction site at Changkat Asa Estate, near Tanjong Malim on Tuesday (July 15).
State director Datuk Kamalludin Ismail said the raid was conducted at 1.30pm, involving an enforcement team acting on information gathered from the public.
"The inspection of two skid tanks at the location led to the discovery of a large quantity of suspected diesel fuel stored without the written permission from the Supply Controller," he said in a statement.
He also said that a 41-year-old local man who claimed to be a construction site manager failed to present any related documents, such as a licence, permit letter, or controlled goods storage permit, when requested by the enforcement officers.
It is said that the case is being investigated under the Control of Supplies Act 1961 for possessing or storing scheduled controlled goods without permission.
In this regard, the public is urged to help provide information on fraudulent activities via WhatsApp to 019-848 8000, the e-aduan@kpdn.gov.my portal, line 1-800-886-800 or the KPDN Ez ADI smartphone application. - Bernama

BASE jump accident in Kuantan leaves one injured, two safe

KUANTAN: A BASE jumper sustained injuries while two others landed safely after veering off course during the BASE Jump Extreme Challenge, part of the Pesta Kuantan 188 festivities. The incident occurred at approximately 5 pm yesterday near the Kuantan 188 tower. Acting district police chief Supt Mohd Adli Mat Daud confirmed that Zainal Chik, 62, crash-landed on a concrete surface. 'The jumper was taken to Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital and is currently in stable condition,' he said in a statement.
