BATU PAHAT: The Batu Pahat branch of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has seized 16,500 litres at a company which has no valid documents in Parit Yaani, here yesterday.

Its director, Lilis Saslinda Pornomo said that during an inspection carried out on the company under Op Pantau 2025, the firm was found failing to produce any valid documents such as the license for owning and storing diesel.
