Suspected Illegal Storage of Wheat Flour at Animal Feed Factory

The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) Kedah branch raided an animal feed processing factory in the Kuala Ketil Industrial Area on suspicion of storing wheat flour without the necessary authorisation. The inspection revealed a significant quantity of flour believed to have been incorporated into the company's animal feed production processes.
Discovery of Unauthorised Flour Stockpile

During the operation, which involved four enforcement officers from the Baling branch, a substantial amount of wheat flour was found on the premises. This flour was believed to be actively used in the factory's manufacturing of animal feed.
Seizure of Flour Worth Over RM100,000

Authorities seized a total of 53,325 kilogrammes of wheat flour, with an estimated value of RM100,251. This seizure was conducted to facilitate further investigation into the alleged unauthorised storage and potential misuse of the commodity.
Manager's Failure to Produce Documentation

The factory's manager, a 25-year-old local man, was unable to present any valid permit or approval from the Supply Controller authorising the storage of the seized flour. This lack of documentation is central to the ongoing investigation.
Investigation Under Control of Supplies Act

The case is currently being investigated under Section 21 of the Control of Supplies Act 1961 (Act 122). KPDN has indicated that stringent action will be pursued against any entity found to be misusing or diverting subsidised goods.
