  "account": "The Selangor branch of the domestic trade and cost of living ministry is investigating ten complaints alleging that RON95 petrol has been mixed with water, leading to vehicle damage in various parts of the state. Muhamad Hanif Asaari, the Selangor director of the ministry, revealed that they inspected seven petrol stations in response to the complaints and social media reports. From these stations, 27 cans of RON95 petrol were seized for laboratory testing. All the petrol stations held the necessary Controlled Scheduled Articles licences and Petroleum Development Act 1974 licences. Hanif announced that a notice under Section 32 of the Trade Descriptions Act 2011 has been issued, requiring petrol station owners to provide information and business-related documents for the investigation. He emphasized that strict action will be taken under legal provisions against any party found to be violating the regulations that may endanger consumers' interests and safety.",
