(Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: Domestic trade and cost of living minister Armizan Mohd Ali has accused MCA president Wee Ka Siong of quoting the wrong law as the pair continued to lock horns over rules on subsidised cooking gas cylinders
Armizan said he had clearly stated that his ministry’s actions to enforce Op Gasak, to combat illegal decanting and use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders, was carried out under the Control of Supplies (Amendment) Regulations 2021.
“However, Wee was referring to the Control of Supplies (Amendment) Act 2021. He definitely wouldn’t find the provisions that I’m talking about there,” said Armizan after Wee posted several documents to “prove” that there was no requirement for businesses to apply for a permit to use more than three LPG cylinders.“I appeal to all politicians to not confuse the rakyat by making wrong references,” Armizan said in a statement.
He also questioned why Wee did not speak up to oppose the amended control of supplies regulations when it was passed in 2021, when Wee, MP for Ayer Hitam, was a minister.
On Thursday, Armizan announced that the Cabinet had agreed to allow small businesses to continue to use subsidised gas without requiring a permit until October. The exemption would remain in effect until amendments to the Control of Supplies (Amendment) Regulations 2021 are finalised.- FMT
