Pemeriksaan awal KPDN Kedah tidak temukan air dalam sampel minyak

The initial inspection by the KPDN Kedah in Kedah did not detect the presence of water in the RON95 storage tank samples at 11 petrol stations across various districts, according to a statement released by Bernama. The KPDN Kedah chairman, Muhammad Nizam Jamaludin, disclosed that the investigation was prompted by complaints from the public regarding vehicles being damaged after refueling at the affected stations.

The stations under scrutiny were operated by Petron and Caltex in Alor Setar, Kubang Pasu, Sungai Petani, and Kulim.

The preliminary examination, carried out using manual dipping and Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) readings, did not indicate any water in the storage tanks being examined. In addition to the sample analysis, the KPDN Kedah also requested records and information from the petrol station operators. However, the preliminary findings cannot yet be considered definitive, as the results are pending the completion of further analysis and investigation.

At present, the KPDN Kedah has not concluded whether the relevant fuel has been contaminated with water. The sampled petrol will be forwarded to the relevant authorities for further laboratory analysis alongside the samples sent by the respective petrol station operators. According to Muhammad Nizam, the KPDN Kedah will conduct a review of the analysis results and overall investigation findings before determining the next course of action, which may include taking appropriate measures if any violation of the relevant regulations is identified.

The public can report their concerns through WhatsApp at 019-848 8000, the KPDN Kedah e-Aduan portal, the 1-800-886-800 hotline, or the EzADU KPDN mobile application.
