PUTRAJAYA: Businesses using less than 42 kilograms of subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) at any one time are not required to apply for a Scheduled Controlled Goods Permit (PBKB), clarified Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Enforcement Director-General Datuk Azman Adam.
The clarification comes amid OPS Gasak, a nationwide enforcement campaign running from 1 May to 31 October 2025 to curb LPG subsidy misuse.
“The focus is on cracking down on illegal decanting activities and preventing misuse of subsidised LPG by medium and large-scale industries.

During the campaign, officers will focus on advocacy and compliance at F&B outlets, with no legal action taken for missing permits.
Businesses exceeding the limit are urged to apply via BLESS 2.0, while suppliers may continue deliveries to existing customers without a PBKB.
