KUALA LUMPUR – Kegiatan sindiket menyeleweng minyak masak peket bersubsidi dengan membotolkannya semula sebelum dijual sebagai minyak sembahyang terbongkar dalam empat serbuan di sekitar ibu negara, hari ini.
Operasi menerusi Ops Tiris 4.0 oleh Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup (KPDN) Kuala Lumpur itu membongkar tiga kes saling berkait serta merampas kira-kira sembilan tan minyak masak bernilai RM165,000.
Timbalan Pengarah KPDN Kuala Lumpur, Mohd Shahran Mohd Arshad berkata, operasi membabitkan empat premis di Sentul dan Chow Kit iaitu dua premis pemborong berlesen dan dua premis tidak berlesen.
“Taktik sindiket ini adalah membeli minyak masak peket bersubsidi satu kilogram (kg) daripada pembungkus dan pemborong sebelum peket berkenaan dipotong secara manual untuk dibotolkan semula.
“Minyak berkenaan kemudian dibotolkan dalam saiz satu, dua, lima hingga 15 kg dan dijual sebagai minyak sembahyang, sama ada tanpa campuran bahan lain atau dengan sedikit bahan tambahan untuk pasaran peruncit di Lembah Klang,” katanya hari ini.
Mohd. Shahran berkata, sindiket terbabit membeli minyak masak bersubsidi pada harga RM2.45 seliter sebelum menjualnya semula pada harga sekitar RM7.50 seliter.
Katanya, sebuah premis sahaja dipercayai mampu memproses kira-kira 200 botol atau hampir satu tan minyak masak bersubsidi sehari dan dipercayai telah beroperasi secara haram sejak enam bulan lalu.
Dalam operasi itu, beliau berkata, lima individu berusia antara 30 hingga 35 tahun ditahan terdiri daripada tiga warga India, seorang warga Sri Lanka dan seorang lelaki tempatan yang bekerja sebagai pemandu van.
Menurutnya, dalang utama kegiatan itu disyaki seorang pemborong berlesen yang menguruskan rantaian bekalan serta pengedaran minyak ke semua premis terbabit dan masih dikesan.
Kes disiasat mengikut Akta Kawalan Bekalan 1961 dan Akta Perihal Dagangan 2011 kerana menggunakan label tidak berdaftar. – KOSMO! ONLINE
Lastly watched this movie back in 2019.
So my memory about this movie and the album are vague.
Yuvan's 100th movie.
It served as the direct technological and design precursor to the production Mazda RX-8 sports coupe, which launched globally in 2003.
Developed while Mazda was operating under the control of Ford, the project was mandated to be a practical four-seater rather than a traditional two-door sports coupe.
To optimize entry and exit without sacrificing structural rigidity or clean coupe lines, Mazda engineered rear-hinged "Freestyle" suicide doors with no central B-pillar. This configuration transferred directly to the final production RX-8.
The car was built around "Mazda Spirited DNA," optimizing interior volume while shortening the exterior body overhangs. Because the compact RENESIS motor could sit entirely behind the front axle line, designers achieved low inertial yaw and supreme, nimble handling traits that defined the subsequent generation of Mazda performance cars.
Prior to the RX-EVOLV, the survival of Mazda's Wankel rotary program was in jeopardy due to strict environmental limits.
The RX-EVOLV debuted the new-generation RENESIS rotary engine, which relocated the exhaust ports from the periphery of the rotor housing to the side plates.
This design modification eliminated unburned fuel overlap, allowing the engine to drastically lower emissions and meet modern global regulations while retaining a high-revving character.
Engine Type: Naturally aspirated, 2.6-liter equivalent (1.3L actual displacement), twin-rotor RENESIS rotary engine.
Power Output: 280 PS (276 bhp / 206 kW) spinning up to a 9,000 RPM redline.
Torque: 226 Nm (167 lb-ft) at 8,000 RPM.
Layout: Front-midship engine placement, Rear-Wheel Drive (FR layout).
Weight Distribution: Perfect 50:50 front-to-rear balance.Curb Weight: 1,250 kg (2,756 lbs).
Are they even exist in first place?
How does it work?
Even I could not find reviews in main subs.
It was built using the nodes and powertrain of the second-generation Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero/Shogun).
Designed explicitly as a two-seater open-top vehicle for rescue services, lifeguards, and nature conservation teams operating in disaster areas.
The lower part of the body was hydrodynamic to minimize drag while navigating swamps or deep water. It could effectively float and drive through waters up to 80 cm deep.
Powered by a 2.5-liter diesel engine producing 105 horsepower, paired with a four-wheel-drive system and a 10-speed transmission layout.
Featured small body overhangs, a built-in winch, large 18-inch wheels, and a variable height suspension system capable of raising the ground clearance by 80 to 100 mm.
Though it never reached mass production, the Field Guard achieved cult status among car enthusiasts after it was featured heavily in the 1999 Jackie Chan romantic comedy action film, Gorgeous (玻璃樽).
Looks good.
Are the judges nuts?
What a crappy statement....
Far ahead of its time, the project laid the structural and philosophical foundation for modern premium electric vehicles like the BMW i3.
First Generation: The Z11 (1991)
Debuted at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Show, the original BMW E1 (Z11) was built from scratch specifically for electric propulsion rather than adapting an existing gas car chassis.
Lightweight Body: Features an extrusion-pressed aluminum spaceframe paired with recyclable plastic outer body panels to keep total weight around 900 kg.
Powertrain Layout: A 32 kW (43 hp) electric motor was integrated directly into the rear axle to deliver traditional BMW rear-wheel drive.
Battery & Range: Utilized a high-temperature 19 kWh sodium-sulfur battery under the rear seats, unlocking an urban driving range of up to 150–200 km and a top speed of 120 km/h.
Quirks: The charging port was cleverly hidden behind the iconic BMW kidney grille.
Fate: The original 1991 prototype was unfortunately destroyed in a severe fire while utilizing its early two-hour rapid charging system.
Second Generation: The Z15 (1993)
Undeterred by the prototype fire, BMW Technik released an evolved pair of E1 concepts in 1993 under the internal designation Z15.
Safer Chemistry: Upgraded to a more stable, robust sodium-nickel chloride battery compound.Dual Variations: BMW built an all-electric version alongside a unique hybrid model.
The Hybrid Extender: The hybrid variant featured a downsized battery pack alongside a front-mounted 1100cc 4-cylinder engine borrowed from a BMW motorcycle to act as a range extender.
Despite highly positive functional testing, mass production of the E1 was cancelled due to the high cost of components, immature battery longevity, and a complete lack of public charging infrastructure in the 1990s. Its clever packaging layout, lightweight focus, and quirky city-car styling were eventually realized 22 years later in the production BMW i3.
Notably heavily inspired by the iconic London Black Cab, they shared a common platform intended to bring "classical" British taxi styling to civilian passenger vehicles.
Englon SC7-RV
Body Style: A high-roof, five-door "classical family hatchback".
Origin: Debuted at Auto Shanghai 2011. It evolved from the 2010 Englon TXN taxi prototype into a civilian-focused vehicle.
Design: Blended traditional elements like an enormous vertical grill and round headlights with a bulbous, futuristic hatchback silhouette.
Engine Options: Planned to accommodate 1.4-litre turbo or 1.5-litre engines.
Englon SC7-RS
Body Style: A four-door mid-sized sedan variant.Origin: Debuted a year later at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show.
Design: Shared the exact same distinctive, polarizing front-end styling as the hatchback version, including the massive chrome grille, but transitioned into a traditional three-box sedan rear profile.
Neither the SC7-RV nor the SC7-RS ever reached mass assembly. Geely officially retired the Englon sub-brand (along with Gleagle and Emgrand) to consolidate its lineup back under the primary Geely badge.
The London Taxi lineage itself was later preserved through Geely's London Taxi Company investment, which eventually transformed into the modern London EV Company (LEVC).
Masterminded under BMW’s design chief Chris Bangle (and penned by designer Chris Chapman), it intentionally shattered standard automotive segments by blending a rugged off-roader with a sleek sports coupe.
While highly criticized at the time, this concept served as the structural and philosophical foundation for modern "Sports Activity Coupes" like the BMW X6 and BMW X2.
The X-Coupe is most famous for introducing "Flame Surfacing," a design language utilizing highly sculpted, interlocking concave and convex surfaces that mimic the energy of a pressurized flame.
The car was deliberately uneven. The driver’s side featured a short, conventional door, while the passenger side utilized a much larger, full-width door to allow easier access to the rear seats from the safety of the curb.
It lacked a traditional hatchback. Instead, the rear featured a massive, asymmetric one-piece clamshell bootlid that swiveled backwards and downwards to expose the trunk area.
An electronic rear spoiler was integrated into the lower bumper, automatically deploying once the vehicle crossed 68 mph (110 km/h).
While most production cars used steel, the X-Coupe’s outer body shell was crafted entirely out of aluminum.
Beneath its polarizing exterior, the X-Coupe was fully driveable and built upon a production chassis.
It utilized the BMW E53 X5 platform and borrowed its full-time all-wheel-drive system.
It was powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six turbodiesel engine. This was highly unusual for a sports concept at the time, emphasizing massive torque over high horsepower.
The modified engine pushed out 184 horsepower and a brawny 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque.
A 5-speed Steptronic automatic transmission managed power, complete with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters—a novelty in 2001.
It featured a top speed of roughly 125 mph (201 km/h) and clocked a 0–60 mph time of 8.0 seconds.
The headlights swiveled based on steering wheel inputs to illuminate dark corners. Furthermore, by linking with the car’s GPS navigation, the system anticipated curves in the road before the driver even turned the wheel.
The intensity of the rear brake lights changed based on braking pressure, warning drivers behind if the X-Coupe was performing an emergency stop.
Shod in massive 20-inch wheels, the vehicle utilized early run-flat tech, eliminating the need to carry a heavy spare tire.
Today, the original concept vehicle remains preserved as a permanent exhibit in the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany.

At the 2006 Beijing Auto Show, Hongqi unveiled an armored long-wheelbase stretched limousine. It was called the Xin Qijian, which means New Flagship. This name referred to earlier Hongqi cars with the Qijian name, most notably the Hongqi CA7460 Qijian series. On the license plate: 红旗新旗舰, Hóngqí Xīn Qíjiàn, Hongqi New Flagship.
Besides changing names and prices, Hongqi tried other things to fire up sales of the HQ3 and Shengshi. That is where today’s concept cars come in. Hongqi created three concept cars. One was based on the HQ3 and two were based on the Shengshi.
A long-wheelbase armored limousine with an extension in the middle of 55 centimeters. Based on the HQ3 HQ430.
A long-wheelbase version with an extension in the middle of about 15 centimeters. Based on the Shengshi HQ430.
An open-top inspection car version with an extension in the middle of about 25 centimeters. Based on the Shengshi HQ300.
The Hongqi Shengshi long-wheelbase version
The Xin Qijian was based on the HQ3 HQ430. The wheelbase was extended by 550 millimeters, for a total length of 4965 millimeters. The extension was at the B-pillar. Hongqi added a light gray panel in the middle. Somewhat strangely, the chromed window frames of the side windows were extended over this panel. It had a shiny red flag ornament on the D-pillar.
Hongqi claimed it used “high-tech new bulletproof materials” to keep the limousine as light as possible. Weight increase was only 260 kilos. Still, the vehicle had a bulletproof level of the European B4 standard and the US 3A standard.
This, according to Hongqi, was enough to withstand the impact of continuous shooting by F79 and F64-class firearms with steel-core bullets. The tires had a special bulletproof structure too, enabling the car to continue driving at a speed of 50 km/h even after the tires were shot.
At the show, Hongqi said production of the Xin Qijian would start in the second half of 2007. Hongqi’s aim was to “gradually replace domestic imported bulletproof vehicles and meet the special vehicle needs of national government agencies.”
But that never happened. The Xin Qijian didn’t see production and the only one ever made was the 2006 concept car. That is too bad, as it was a good-looking vehicle with a luxurious interior and proper bulletproof credentials.
The Hongqi HQ3 long-wheelbase armored limousine
The next concept car was based on the Shengshi. I don’t know the exact date but it has to be after 2008. License plate: 红旗盛世, Hóngqí Shèngshì. I saw this car in 2016 at the Hongqi Museum in Changchun.
The caption only provided general information about the Shengqi, not anything specific about this long-wheelbase version. It has never been shown on an auto show or to the media, so seeing this car in Changchun was a great surprise.
The extension was fairly modest compared to the 2006 bulletproof limousine. The extension is at the B-pillar and seems about 15 centimeters long. Hongqi extended the window frame as well, which looks much better than the strange window-frame construction on the 2006 limo.
There was no divider in the car, so the extension mainly added legroom. The windows of the rear compartment were darkened a lot so I couldn’t get a good look inside.
The front was dressed up with a golden frame around the hood ornament and a small Hongqi badge on the grille.
The Hongqi Shengshi inspection car has been on display in the museum too, but sadly it wasn’t there when I visited. The museum is quite small and they rotate the vehicles on show. Most photos of this car are by the great car writer Celcior, who publishes a blog with interesting cars from China and Taiwan.
On the license plate: 红旗盛世敞篷车, Hóngqí Shèngshì Chǎngpéngchē, Hongqi Shengshi Convertible.
The term inspection car, also known as a parade car, refers to a vehicle used for inspecting things and/or for parading celebrities. There are open-top inspection cars and closed-roof inspection cars. China has a long history of building such vehicles, and Hongqi has always been the main-inspection car maker in the country.
The inspection car was based on the Shengshi HQ300, so it only had a V6 under the hood, which doesn’t seem enough for such a large and heavy car. The roof has been deleted and the extension is about 25 centimeters long.
The extra space was used for an inspection-car divider construction, complete with a handlebar. During an inspection, the inspector holds the bar with one hand while waving with the other. The bar was quite fancy, clad in beige leather with steel pillars on the sides. The divider itself has a wood inlay on top and more beige leather below.
After inspecting, the inspector and his pal could sit on two cushy seats, again in beige leather.
The dashboard design was unchanged. The A-pillar was strengthened with beige plastics.
As far as I know, the Shengshi inspection car was never used for an actual inspection. Celcior says it was used once in Beijing to parade the taikonauts of the Shenzhou 6 manned-space mission, but that was actually an Audi-based Hongqi inspection car (CA7220 A9E3L2 Century Star).
It has flag poles atop the fenders to show the Chinese flag. Like the other concepts, the inspection car never saw production either. The HQ3/Shengshi didn’t live much longer either. In 2010 Hongqi pulled the plug and production ended. The Shengshi was succeeded in 2013 by the Hongqi H7, which was based on the FAW-Toyota thirteenth generation (S200) Toyota Crown. Hongqi hasn’t made any cool H7 concept cars, yet.
For the Hongqi HQ3: https://www.reddit.com/r/WeirdWheels/comments/1vfdov8/the_hongqi_hq3sengshi_is_a_fullsize_luxury/
Thought about this when watching that Toyota bZ Woodlands review.
It is famously known for being a rebadged version of the Japanese fourth-generation Toyota Crown Majesta (S180), utilizing Toyota platforms and engines through the local FAW-Toyota joint venture.
The HQ3 was built at Hongqi's factory in Changchun, Jilin Province. It retained the exact interior layout, rear-wheel-drive configuration, and mechanics of the Crown Majesta, but featured prominent Hongqi visual touches. These included a massive chrome front grille, a red-flag hood ornament, and unique three-stripe chrome trim on the C/D-pillars.
Initially launched in late 2006 as the HQ3, the car suffered poor private sales. In October 2007, FAW significantly slashed prices and rebranded the car as the Shengshi to better target private buyers and shift existing factory inventory.
The HQ3/Sengshi powered by 4.3-litre V8 (Toyota 3UZ-FE) and 3.0-litre V6 (Toyota 3GR-FE) paired with 6-speed automatic.
Both had horsepower of 231 horsepower / 300 Nm (HQ300) and 280 horsepower / 430 Nm (HQ400)
Both had top speed of 230 km/h (HQ300) and 250 km/h.(HQ400) with 0-100 km/h in 8.7 seconds and 7.3 seconds.
In 2011, a highly customized autonomous test vehicle based on the Hongqi HQ3 successfully completed a 154-mile (248 km) driverless highway journey from Changsha to Wuhan.
Notably, it relied exclusively on its cameras and sensory data instead of GPS navigation.
The HQ3 was not commercially successful, with only a few thousand units produced before it was succeeded by the Hongqi H7.
Roughly 95% of the total models sold were the cheaper HQ300 variant, making the V8-powered HQ430 extremely rare.
Despite its high-quality Toyota underpinning, the HQ3/Shengshi struggled to capture market share from dominant European rivals like Audi.
Production officially stopped in 2010, paving the way for its successor, the Hongqi H7, which debuted in 2013.
