  "account": "The Selangor branch of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living is probing ten complaints alleging that RON95 petrol has been mixed with water, potentially causing damage to vehicles. The Ministry's Selangor director, Muhamad Hanif Asa’ari, revealed that seven petrol stations were inspected following these complaints and social media reports. Twenty-seven cans of RON95 petrol were seized from these stations for laboratory testing. All petrol stations involved held the necessary licenses under the Controlled Scheduled Articles Act and the Petroleum Development Act 1974. In light of these allegations, a notice was issued under Section 32 of the Trade Descriptions Act 2011, demanding that petrol station owners provide relevant information and business documentation to aid the investigation. The ministry has stated that stringent action will be taken against any party found guilty of violating consumer rights and safety.",
