00:00 A total of 70,000 liters of subsidized diesel worth 150,500 ringgit were confiscated during
00:10 a raid in Taman Impian Emas in Johor Bahru.
00:13 Johor Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) Director Lilis Saslinda Purnomo stated
00:20 that 14 personnel from the ministry's enforcement team along with police officers conducted
00:25 the raid at an illegal storage facility on Jalan Selatan 8 in the Pulai industrial area.
00:32 The operation, which took place at 1.15pm on Sunday, followed a two-week surveillance
00:37 effort under OPS Tiris.
00:38 "Usually, based on our research, there will be small lorries, bonded lorries, or sometimes
00:47 small motor lorries, even a van can be used.
00:50 And then there will be cars, private cars, where they will buy in a way that is easy to
00:57 collect and distribute the oil.
00:59 Then after it is collected, it will be brought here, where the transaction will take place,
01:04 or the sales will be done, and it will be put into this skid tank.
01:08 When the skid tank is installed, they will arrange the space in the skid tank, so there
01:16 will be a special tank, which is big, to be inserted into the skid tank, to be put in
01:22 here.
01:23 So from here, it will come out, straight to its destination."
01:27 The raid resulted in the seizure of several items, including four high-pressure pumps,
01:33 five intermediate bulk container tanks, two skid tanks, two tankers, and a lorry.
01:39 The total value of the confiscated items, including the diesel, is estimated at 350,000 ringgit.
