PETALING JAYA: Domestic trade and cost of living minister Armizan Mohd Ali has taken a swipe at MCA president Wee Ka Siong for criticising the ministry’s enforcement of quotas for cooking gas cylinders at eateries.

Armizan reminded Wee that the rule requiring a permit for use of more than three 14kg cylinders at one time was initially introduced in 2021, when Wee was a member of the Cabinet.

He said the current government was merely enforcing that rule and has not introduced any new regulations regarding subsidised cylinders of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

“There are no new policies or regulations, let alone any cutting or abolishing of government subsidies for LPG cylinders,” Armizan said in a statement.

“The regulation was enacted under the previous government, which as I recall, Wee was a minister at the time. Perhaps he overlooked it since it was another ministry’s policy. Wee should have provided his opposition to the new rule at that time,” he added.

Wee had been critical of a nationwide operation on LPG cylinders, to combat the misuse and leakage of subsidised LPG, particularly by commercial and industrial users.

Armizan had said the operation was aimed at tackling the use of subsidised LPG by non-eligible sectors, as well as illegal decanting of gas from subsidised cylinders to non-subsidised ones before being sold at a profit.

Wee and several opposition MPs criticised the enforcement operation, claiming it burdened small businesses as they would be forced to switch to commercial LPG cylinders that cost nearly RM70 each – almost three times the subsidised rate.

In a Facebook video earlier today, Wee said limiting the use of subsidised LPG cylinders for food premises would drive up food costs and burden consumers.


However, Armizan said only businesses that use more than three 14kg cylinders, or over 42kg of LPG, at any one time are required to obtain a scheduled controlled goods permit.


“It is not true that all hawkers and traders are prohibited from using subsidised LPG cylinders,” he maintained.

Armizan reiterated that the enforcement of the law was aimed at ensuring the subsidised LPG were being delivered in a targeted manner and to avoid it being exploited by high-end restaurants.

Wee is right and wrong at the same time.

BMX was part of BN's racist and corrupt gov last time.. so by the logic of Armizan.. BMX supports racism and corruption too?

MCA is useless and hence been punished in the polls..
but this doesnt mean what Wee say now is wrong...

PHcais really like to shoot the messenger

Problem is the messenger spreading misinformations and exaggerating some

Wee is a burden for MCA.

Wee introduced & criticized. The angel & devil is the same person. What else can you do?

Sleeping on their job. Tidak apa attitude talk kok everyday.

what misinformation?

do you all agree that there there should be Cabinet collective responsibility?
meaning a minister must support all cabinet decision or resign?
since Wee didnt resign then, means he support the decision back then, and u-turn now la..

if yes, remember what u said today and equally apply to all ministers in the all cabinets.. past and present..

Wee resign je la. Let Mike takes over

Stop the blame game, focus on Ops Gasak enforcement issue, Dr Wee tells ministry


JOHOR BARU: The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry should focus on the real issue regarding the enforcement of Ops Gasak instead of blaming the previous government, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

KENYATAAN BALAS WEE KA SIONG (1 JUN 2025)

Saya mengambil maklum kenyataan YB Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, Menteri KPDN berkaitan penguatkuasaan OPS GASAK dan ingin menjelaskan beberapa perkara untuk memperbetulkan fakta agar rakyat tidak dikelirukan.

1. Isu pokok bukan soal siapa lulus pindaan Peraturan-Peraturan Kawalan Bekalan (PPKB) pada 2021, tetapi bagaimana ianya dikuatkuasakan hari ini.

Ya, PPKB (Pindaan) 2021 telah diluluskan ketika saya berada dalam Jemaah Menteri. Tetapi sehingga tahun 2024, tiada sebarang operasi besar-besaran seperti OPS GASAK yang turun ke pasar malam, warung, gerai kecil dan penjaja makanan secara agresif seperti yang berlaku bermula Mei 2025.

Malah, kerajaan Pakatan Harapan 1.0 sebelum ini pada tahun 2019 juga pernah memulakan penguatkuasaan penggunaan LPG komersial di restoran dan kedai makan, tetapi dihentikan selepas menyedari kesannya yang membebankan rakyat.

2. Kewujudan Akta tidak bermakna penguatkuasaan mesti dilakukan secara keras dan mengejut.

Banyak undang-undang wujud bertahun-tahun tetapi penguatkuasaan hanya dibuat mengikut keperluan dan pertimbangan kerajaan semasa.

Contohnya, Akta Setem 1949 telah lama wujud, namun penguatkuasaan stamping ke atas surat perjanjian kerja baru sahaja diperketatkan secara besar-besaran pada tahun 2025. Saya tidak berhajat untuk membincangkan isu ini dengan lanjut di sini dengan YB Menteri KPDN kerana ini di bawah bidang kuasa Kementerian Kewangan.

Begitu juga dengan OPS GASAK. Penguatkuasaan berskala besar ini adalah keputusan pentadbiran Kerajaan Madani pada tahun 2025 dan bukan arahan Jemaah Menteri ketika pindaan 2021 diluluskan.

3. Penguatkuasaan ini membebankan peniaga kecil pada saat rakyat sedang tertekan.

Kenaikan dan perluasan skop SST yang dijangka bermula Jun, tarif elektrik yang bakal naik Julai, subsidi RON95 yang sedang disasar semula, gaji minimum telah dinaikkan ke RM1,700 - semua ini menambah kos operasi peniaga kecil.

OPS GASAK yang turun menyerbu peniaga kecil yang hanya menggunakan tong 12kg dan 14kg ini memburukkan lagi tekanan ke atas rakyat.

4. Subsidi LPG bukanlah beban besar negara.

Subsidi LPG pada 2024 hanyalah RM3.40 bilion, turun dari RM4.0 bilion pada 2022 dan jumlah ini jauh lebih kecil berbanding kenaikan kutipan SST yang telah naik RM13.4 bilion dari RM31.3 bilion ke RM44.7 bilion dalam tempoh sama, dan diunjur naik lagi ke RM51.7 bilion pada 2025.
Malaysia adalah antara pengeluar gas terbesar dunia. Rakyat layak menerima sedikit manfaat dari hasil gas negara sendiri.

5. Fokus penguatkuasaan sepatutnya kepada kilang dan sempadan negara, bukannya gerai makan kecil.

OPS GASAK sepatutnya lebih fokus kepada membanteras penyeludupan rentas sempadan dan penyalahgunaan berskala besar, bukannya menghukum peniaga kecil yang hanya mencari rezeki.

6. Arahan PETRONAS bertarikh 30 April 2025 memperlihatkan kesan sebenar OPS GASAK kepada peniaga kecil.

Dalam surat bertarikh 30 April 2025, PETRONAS beberapa kali memetik KPDN serta mengarahkan semua pengedar gas menghentikan penjualan LPG bersubsidi (tong 12kg dan 14kg) kepada semua premis komersial termasuk restoran, gerai makan dan warung.

Arahan ini secara langsung menyebabkan kekeliruan, keresahan serta kesukaran kepada ribuan peniaga kecil yang kini bimbang akan tindakan penguatkuasaan walaupun mereka hanya menggunakan tong kecil selama ini.

Saya sudah lebih daripada dua setengah tahun tidak menjadi Menteri, takkan saya pula dipersalahkan & terpaksa menanggung dosanya akibat daripada surat terbaru PETRONAS? Adakah ini adil dan masuk akal?

Di peringkat penguatkuasaan lapangan, kita lihat banyak video dan aduan berkaitan pemeriksaan ke atas peniaga kecil terus berlaku, bercanggah dengan naratif kononnya hanya industri besar disasarkan.

Oleh itu, saya menyeru YB Menteri KPDN supaya tidak mengalihkan perhatian rakyat dengan cuba meletakkan beban kepada Jemaah Menteri terdahulu, sedangkan hakikatnya penguatkuasaan agresif OPS GASAK ini adalah keputusan pentadbiran Madani pada hari ini.

Sekian.
