NILAI - The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP) arrested four men and seized subsidised diesel worth RM21,930 suspected of being misappropriated at an illegal store in Taman Perindustrian Perdana, Lukut, Port Dickson, two days ago.

Kuala Lumpur KPDNHEP director Ariffin Samsudin said a total of 10,200 liters of diesel were seized apart from two tanker lorries, a bonded truck, a pump unit and three fuel hose units with the total seizure estimated at RM123,000.

"The lorry made purchases around Cheras, Sungai Besi and a rest area on a highway before making deliveries to illegal stores operating in Lukut, Port Dickson.
