Accepted Answer

Companies Removed from eCOSS for Violating Specific Regulations

A total of 179 companies have been removed from the Cooking Oil Price Stablisation Scheme System (eCOSS) due to violations of established regulations and scheme conditions. These deactivations stem from a range of non-compliant practices that undermine the integrity and intended distribution of subsidised cooking oil.
Non-Compliance with Storage and Sales Limits

A significant number of companies failed to adhere to the stipulated storage limits for subsidised cooking oil. Furthermore, these entities were found to be selling the controlled commodity above the permitted quantity. Such actions directly contravene the operational guidelines designed to manage the supply and prevent hoarding or unauthorised distribution.
Illegal Sales and Operations

Violations also extended to the illicit sale of subsidised cooking oil to non-Malaysian individuals. Additionally, some companies were found to be operating with expired licenses, a clear breach of regulatory requirements. The scheme also flagged companies exhibiting dubious purchase-sales ratios, suggesting irregular or potentially fraudulent transactions within the supply chain.
Prosecutions Under Controlled Goods Regulations

Specific legal action has been taken in six cases involving violations of the Control of Supplies Regulations (Prohibition on the Sale and Purchase of Controlled Goods) [Cooking Oil] 2026. Three of these cases specifically concerned the sale of subsidised packet cooking oil to non-citizens, leading to seizures valued at RM65. The remaining three cases involved the purchase of these subsidised goods by non-citizens, resulting in seizures worth RM15,180 and total fines of RM7,000.
