Kuala Lumpur Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living is disposing of seized goods worth over RM4.5 million from 309 cases between 2024 and 2025.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur branch of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living is disposing of seized goods worth over RM4.5 million from 309 cases between January 2024 and December 2025.
Its director, Mohd Sabri Seman, said the disposal was categorised as the Kuala Lumpur KPDN 2025 Mega Disposal.
This represents the highest disposal value in the current two-year period, including a disposal today worth over RM1 million involving 54 cases.
“This disposal reflects WPKL KPDN’s ongoing commitment to clearing and managing exhibit case items based on legal processes and integrity,” he said at a press conference.
He added it ensures non-compliant goods do not return to the market.
The disposal involved cases under the Trademarks Act 2019, the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011, the Trade Descriptions Act 2011 and the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
Among the items disposed are clothing, fashion accessories and electronic components.
Other goods include health and beauty products, cleaning items, and vehicle spare parts.
Mohd Sabri said the action prevents illegal goods from returning to the market and raises consumer awareness.
It also protects the environment through controlled disposal methods and safeguards public health from unsafe goods.
In 2025, the WPKL KPDN recorded 584 enforcement cases with seizures valued at RM4.66 million.
The value of compounds imposed amounted to RM825,500, with fines totalling RM255,658.
The highest quantity of goods disposed were from the fashion clothing and accessories category under the Trademarks Act 2019, totalling 24,800 units.
All disposed items have completed court proceedings and received disposal orders in accordance with legal provisions.
The disposal process is carried out systematically at the WPKL KPDN exhibit storage facility.
Meanwhile, Mohd Sabri said WPKL KPDN will intensify efforts to combat the misappropriation and leakage of goods next year.
The focus will be on large-scale syndicates and cartels.
“We will be more targeted in our efforts to combat large-scale cartels and syndicates involved in the misappropriation and leakage of controlled goods,” he said.
Enforcement strategies will be strengthened with a more focused target on major syndicate networks.
