The Penang branch of KPDN said it is taking the matter seriously following reports that vehicles have experienced problems shortly after refuelling at petrol stations in the state. A department spokesperson confirmed that a dedicated team has been assigned to investigate the allegations thoroughly. The investigation will examine whether the issues are linked to fuel quality or other related factors at the point of sale. KPDN has urged consumers who have experienced similar problems to come forward with details and documentation of their cases to support the ongoing inquiry. The watchdog did not specify how many complaints had been received or identify the petrol stations involved in the reported incidents.
