KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — Preliminary laboratory tests on 43 petrol samples found water content below the minimum detection level, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.

Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said testing for water was given immediate priority, as a comprehensive analysis of all liquid properties and foreign contaminants would take more time.

“According to the preliminary report received from the Department of Chemistry dated October 29, 2026, all 43 samples analyzed recorded a water content of less than 0.05 per cent,” he said during Question Time.

“This figure falls well below the minimum threshold required for reporting, indicating no significant water contamination in the initial batch tested.”
