  "account": "Batu Kawan: State officials have disproved claims of water contamination in RON95 fuel tanks at a petrol station after a viral social media post. Penang's Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, in collaboration with the oil company and station operator, conducted inspections at the Batu Kawan location. The Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) records and physical inspections of the tanks and pumps found no evidence of water contamination. Manual testing using Water Finding Paste also showed no presence of water. The ministry emphasized that the interests and safety of consumers are their top priority and urged the public to submit complaints directly to them instead of spreading unverified information on social media.",
