GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry has received 21 complaints over alleged fuel quality issues at several petrol stations in the northern region.
The complaints, which surfaced on social media, have been investigated by its Penang enforcement officers, who inspected both the affected petrol stations and complainants, including vehicle owners.
As part of the investigation, fuel samples were collected from both parties and sent to the Chemistry Department for analysis to determine whether they contained water, diesel or other substances that could affect fuel quality.
State director S. Jegan said no conclusion could yet be drawn on the cause or composition of the fuel until the laboratory results were available.
