Ministry probes claims of vehicle problems after refuelling in Penang

The domestic trade and cost of living ministry in Penang has opened an investigation into claims that several vehicles experienced issues after refuelling at petrol stations in Batu Kawan. The Penang office of KPDN stated that they were aware of the allegations and sent a team to examine the matter. A spokesman for the ministry was quoted as saying that they would release a media statement following their investigation.

Social media posts went viral earlier, claiming that vehicles had problems, such as being unable to start, after refuelling at various petrol stations in Penang. These posts also alleged that the issue was believed to be caused by water-contaminated fuel, though this has not been confirmed by authorities.
