PUTRAJAYA: The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry has issued a stern warning that any attempt by individuals or syndicates to take advantage of the current global conflict will not be tolerated. Its Enforcement director-general, Datuk Azman Adam, said misappropriating national subsidies is a betrayal of the people and the country. “The strictest enforcement action will be taken with no compromise,” he said in a statement on Saturday (March 28). At the same time, 2,400 of the ministry’s enforcement officers nationwide are on high alert to conduct on-the-ground inspections and monitoring. Several strategic measures will be implemented to ensure supplies remain easily accessible to the public.
