KUCHING, April 13 2026: Police personnel will temporarily monitor filling stations in Sarawak, including 22 in Limbang, Lundu and Lubok Antu, to allow the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry enforcers to focus on locations at risk of leakage of controlled goods, particularly fuel.
Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof (picture) said the ministry will also focus on 16 Sarawak Fishermen’s Association locations that house diesel depots for the use of fishermen, 25 unbranded petrol stations, 153 privately-permitted skid tanks and also illegal jetties that carry out bunkering activities in the rivers of Sarawak.
“The enforcers will also focus on the stability of prices and supply of other controlled goods,” Fadillah said in a statement today.
He said the launch of Ops Tiris 4.0 (Integrated) phase on March 16, involving several agencies, has yielded positive results in less than a month, adding that as of April 12, 13,759 total inspections were recorded nation-wide.
Of these, 99 cases involving diesel with a seizure value of more than RM 3.1 million;. 61 cases involving RON95 petrol with a seizure value of RM 95,387.65;. 30 cases involving LPG with a seizure amounting to RM45,103.34; and. 49 cases involving cooking oil, sugar and wheat flour.
“As of yesterday, the total value of seizures nation-wide has reached RM 11 million.

“This success is the result of the hard work of our strategic partners from Police Department, General Operations Force , Marine Police Force, Immigration Department, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, and Border Control and Protection Agency,” Fadillah said.
He urged the people to the eyes and ears of the government, saying that close cooperation between the federal government and Sarawak is the key to ensuring that the economic sovereignty is preserved for the well-being of future generations.
