PASIR MAS, Feb 1 — Unusual fuel sales patterns at several petrol stations near the Malaysia-Thailand border have raised concerns over possible misappropriation of subsidised petrol and diesel.

In disclosing the matter, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) director-general (Enforcement) Datuk Azman Adam said nine petrol stations had been identified as recording sales significantly higher than those in other areas.
