DUNGUN: The Terengganu branch of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) seized 1,500 litres of diesel stored without permission at a hardware shop in Kuala Dungun here yesterday.
Terengganu KPDN director Mohd Mufsi Lat said the fuel was stored in six polycarbonate tanks on the top floor of the premises.
He added that preliminary investigations found the diesel storage activity was believed to have been ongoing for the past seven years, purportedly for use by machinery at the premises.
“The diesel is suspected to have been obtained from a nearby petrol station using 25-litre plastic containers before being transferred through pipes and pumped into storage tanks on the top floor of the premises.
