Two enforcement officers with the Selangor branch of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) were injured during Ops Tiris, an enforcement operation targeting non-compliance with trade regulations.
Mohammad Fauzi Baharuddin sustained moderate injuries and continues to receive treatment at a hospital, according to ministry officials. His colleague, R Yoghanath, suffered minor injuries in the same incident.
Ops Tiris is a regular enforcement initiative conducted by KPDN across the country to ensure compliance with domestic trade regulations and consumer protection standards. The operation typically involves inspections of commercial premises and investigations into alleged violations.
Details regarding the exact circumstances of the injuries and the location where the incident occurred were not immediately available. The ministry has not yet issued a detailed statement on the matter.
The incident underscores the occupational hazards faced by enforcement personnel in the course of their duties to protect consumer interests and maintain fair trading practices across Selangor.
