ARAU: The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry is looking to tackle the problem of abuse of subsidised cooking oil to ensure that the issue does not recur, says its Deputy Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid.
He said this included misappropriation committed by certain parties who mixed subsidised cooking oil with used cooking oil to be sold to biodiesel processing companies.
"We have information that used cooking oil can reach up to RM4.20 per kg compared with RM2.50 per kg for subsidised cooking oil," he said, adding that the ministry is finding ways to resolve the problem. Bernama reported that the state enforcement seized 13.6 tonnes of cooking oil that was mixed with used cooking oil and detained a 30-year-old man to assist in the investigation.
