An estimated RM1.2 million in subsidised diesel is leaked through smuggling across the Bukit Kayu Hitam immigration, customs, quarantine and security (ICQS) complex using foreign-registered vehicles, Bernama has reported.
This has been detected by the road transport department (JPJ) after confiscating 18 different types of vehicles under Op Tangki in Kuala Muda, Kota Setar and the ICQS complex from May 15 to 19, said JPJ deputy director general for planning and operation Aedy Fadly Ramli.
The subsidised diesel from Malaysia was being smuggled using vehicles such as pick-up trucks and lorries modified to carry an additional tank, said Aedy Fadly. “During the operation, we discovered that the foreign vehicles had modified the tanks to smuggle diesel into neighbouring countries. These smugglers make four to five daily trips to take the diesel across the border,” he said.
The road transport department will be stepping up its operations to continue identifying the vehicles involved in order to prevent further losses suffered by the country from subsidised diesel leakage, he continued.
“Starting this week, we will hold nationwide operations. We have received instructions from the highest level of the Transport Ministry to carry out the operation to curb the smuggling of subsidised diesel,” the JPJ deputy director general for planning and operation said.

This is the reason why it is not wise to hv fuel subsidies that lowers fuel price way too low from actual market price.
The subsidy could have been better use elsewhere.
Go solve the smuggling problem, not punish the millions of rakyat by withdrawing our rightful subsidies because you are incompetent to catch these criminals.
not to say incompetent…
they get a certain percentage… EdisiSiasat has exposed a lot but the authorities don want to take action as their commision is gone!!
So really all this PMX talk about fighting corruption is BS, his PH is just as bad or even worse as the previous one since they came in with promise to fight corruption but now they are corrupted!
Time to kick them out!
its okay, all this gonna disappear after the closing of “FFF” bid
Lol government servant. Only works when top management tells. Wtf with this mentality. Why can’t you proactively catch the smugglers. Why need to wait for Mot to tell you when to catch smugglers.
border states’ mb complacency ?
States do not control national borders, only Federal Govt do. Pls come out with better reason to plotek your incompetence PH.
Stay away from ketum, very bad for your mental health
Border polis under who?
Kastam under who?
Imigresen under who?
So the incompetence of federal government border control agency inability to secure our border against fuel smuggling the rational of removing subsidises that burdening the entire rakyat?
Exactly my friend! This is PH way of running the Govt
If we are the gomen, we’ll join the smugglers to make side income. Maklum lah negeri hijau semua kan sempadan dgn siam
Stay away from LSD, very bad for your mental health
U KNOW, EVEN YET UP TO THE FIGURES, BUT NOTHING SERIOUS DONE
And the action plan to contain this is ?
Is to punish the millions of rakyat by withdrawing our rightful subsidies. That is how PH runs the Govt.
One wonders how so much diesel can go thru our borders undetected. Daily at that. No prizes for guessing who’s on the take here. Macc sila pantau
so if you minus this figure from the yearly petrol subsidy…that means the T20 is not using that much of gasoline?
Those that jaga at border doing what? Makan gaji buta?
Just do your f work and punish the smugglers severely.
Mr Government, this isn’t new. It’s not seminal. At any level!
Instead of “ops this” and “ops that”, just be diligent and consistent in enforcement. When you catch the crooks, send them to jail, confiscate the assets,
fine them. That’s really all you need discourage the next crook. No it won’t eliminate them, but you’ll reduce the losses for sure.
That is why the people are so angry when the govt is punishing the people by removing fuel subsidies when it is their inability to stop smuggling. RM1.2 million per day losses!!!! Don’t forget it is us, the Malaysians who paid taxes to provide you and family luxury live ok!!!
