No permit needed for usage of cooking gas not exceeding 42 kg
KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) has once again clarified that the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or cooking gas in a subsidised gas cylinder not exceeding 42 kilogrammes (kg) or three subsidised gas cylinders of 14 kg at one time does not require a Scheduled Controlled Goods Permit (PBKB).
Its director-general of enforcement, Datuk Azman Adam said however, businesses that use LPG exceeding 42 kg at a time are advised to apply for a PBKB via the Business Licensing Electronic Support System (BLESS) 2.0.
'The existing legal provisions under the Control of Supplies Act (Amendment) 2021 which have been in effect since Oct 15, 2021, outline that the use of LPG exceeding 42 kg requires the application for a PBKB),' he said in a statement today.
Accordingly, he said, throughout the KPDN's Cooking Gas Operation (Ops Gasak) from May 1 to Oct 31, no legal action will be taken against food and beverage (F&B) sales businesses regarding the requirement to have a PBKB for LPG.
Instead, the inspection is only at the advocacy, review, and notification stage of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.
'At the same time, throughout Ops Gasak, LPG suppliers are allowed to continue to supply subsidised LPG cylinders to existing customers including F&B service traders even though they do not yet have a PBKB,' he also said.
Yesterday, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said that any party who does not use LPG cylinders exceeding three 14-kg cylinders or more than 42 kg at any one time, does not need to worry as they are not subject to the regulations to apply for a scheduled goods permit.
In this regard, based on the 2021 Regulation, he said that eateries or food shops that do not store or use subsidised LPG cylinders not exceeding three cylinders at any one time are not required to have a scheduled controlled goods permit.

Rahmah sale brings big savings to shoppers in Seremban
SEREMBAN: 'The prices are much cheaper than the market. I can save a lot' - that was the reaction of a buyer at the Rahmah MADANI Sales Programme (PJRM) organised by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) here today. Contractor Hasrul Hashim, 38, from Ampangan, said the sale gave him great relief in managing his family's expenses especially with the increasing prices of basic goods in the market. 'It's not just a cheap sale, but a monthly saver. This is my second time at a Rahmah Sale programme, and my first to this sale here. I'm excited because the prices of the goods offered are a lot cheaper. 'Even though there's a supermarket right in front of my house, I prefer coming to this sale. I can save up to 60 per cent on purchases. So I hope the government will continue to hold this kind of sale and at more places,' he said when met by Bernama at the PJRM in Dataran Ampangan today. Housewife Mariam Abdul Kadir, 68, described the sale as not only helping her financially but also saving her time and energy because the location is closer to her home. 'This sale is held near a restaurant, so while I was here for breakfast, I decided to stop by. From a distance, I notice the signboard displaying much cheaper prices for various items like eggs, sardines and flour,' she said. A food trader, Zalina Yeon, 65, said the programme not only benefits those with limited means but also provides small and medium-sized traders with the opportunity to buy goods for sale at lower prices. 'I always go to this kind of sale. I'll check the prices, and if they are reasonable, I'll buy. This sale offers affordable prices. When we can get raw materials at lower prices, it allows us to sell our food at cheaper prices too,' she said. The programme, which opens from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm, offered, among others, fresh chicken at RM7 per kilogramme (kg), grade B eggs (RM9), five kg of cooking oil (RM25) and one kg of wheat flour (RM2.50). Meanwhile, Negeri Sembilan KPDN director Muhammad Zahir Mazlan said PJRM recorded a total sales value of RM51.95 million through 21 series involving 732 programmes across the state since last January.
