KOTA KINABALU: Smuggling subsidised items out of Sandakan is not just a crime — it's stealing from the poor, say enforcement officers as they ramp up patrols in local waters.

“These subsidies are meant for those in need — not for syndicates or opportunists,” said Sandakan Domestic Trade chief enforcement officer Azdy Zukkry John when met by the press after the operation.

Sandakan MMEA operations deputy director Commander Firdaus Sahaari said the agency had deployed three boats with 15 crew members in Monday’s sweep.
