PUTRAJAYA: Two premises in Selangor, one in Petaling Jaya and the other in Puchong, have been raided on suspicion of offences under the Control of Supplies Act 1961 for selling cooking oil through popular ecommerce platforms.

The July 1 raid in Petaling Jaya involved a rented house while the one in Puchong the same day involved a shophouse, both used for storage and packaging of groceries for sale online.

The raid was conducted on suspicion of an offence under Section 16 of the Control of Supplies Act 1961 and sub-regulation 3 of the Control of Supplies Regulations 1974, he said. "The premises produced a retail licence under the Control of Supplies Act 1961 which is still valid but the address registered in the licence is different from the address of the premises were the controlled items were stored,” he said.

He said companies committing such offences could also be investigated under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds from Unlawful Activities Act 2001 .
