Selangor: The Selangor Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has introduced a QR-code monitoring system at petrol stations to improve enforcement efficiency and enable real-time action.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Selangor KPDN director Muhamad Hanif Asa'ari stated that the system targets petrol stations involved in Ops Tiris 4.0, covering 809 active stations and 79 diesel wholesale companies to ensure compliance with the Control of Supplies Act 1961. The move follows the enforcement of the Control of Supplies (Prohibition on Sale and Purchase of Controlled Goods) (RON95 Petrol) Regulations 2026, which came into effect on April 1.

'QR codes will be pasted at petrol stations by the Motorcycle Patrol Unit (URB) during inspections and the information will be recorded via QR code scans once the checks are completed, with officers in the office monitoring the data in real time,' he said in a statement here today. Muhammad Hanif added that the Selangor KPDN is also monitoring fuel supplies to ensure they are sufficient and do not affect consumer needs.

He highlighted that Ops Tiris 4.0 involves all Selangor KPDN offices and has been further reinforced through the Kita Gempur Campaign. The Selangor KPDN is committed to strict enforcement and will not compromise with any party that violates or fails to comply with the Control of Supplies (Prohibition on Sale and Purchase of Controlled Goods) (RON95 Petrol) Regulations 2026, with deterrent punishments as stipulated under the Control of Supplies Act 1961.

Muhammad Hanif mentioned that the Selangor KPDN has also engaged with fuel companies to address current issues and strengthen cooperation with relevant agencies on land and at sea to combat the misappropriation of subsidies. The cooperation also involves the Malaysian Highway Authority in channelling information on suspicious activities along highways and Rest and Service (R and R) areas, especially involving commercial vehicle movements.
