SHAH ALAM, April 9 (Bernama) -- 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.
Selangor KPDN director Muhamad Hanif Asa’ari said 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.
He said 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 said today.
Muhammad Hanif said that at the same time, the Selangor KPDN was also monitoring fuel supplies to ensure they were sufficient and did not affect consumer needs.
He said that Ops Tiris 4.0 involved all Selangor KPDN offices and had been further reinforced through the Kita Gempur Campaign.
“The Selangor KPDN will never 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,” he said.
In the meantime, Muhammad Hanif said the Selangor KPDN had also held an engagement session with fuel companies to address current issues and strengthen cooperation with relevant agencies on land and at sea to combat the misappropriation of subsidies.
He said that the cooperation also involved the Malaysian Highway Authority in channelling information on suspicious activities along highways and Rest and Service (R&R) areas, especially involving commercial vehicle movements.
