Petronas Apologises After 20 Cars Were Wrongly Pumped With "Mixed Petrol" In Serdang

A viral video posted up by Twitter user @Md_Shazlan, sourced from a WhatsApp group, shows a number of vehicles stranded along the highway on both sides.

A voice in the video claims that the 20 cars broke down on the highway near Serdang after filling up "mixed petrol" at the Petronas Solaris Serdang station.

"We take this matter seriously and apologise to all our customers for the inconveniences this have caused," the statement read.

"We are already in contact with the affected customers, taking the necessary measures and will compensate them accordingly."

Petronas added that the station in question has been closed pending investigation and assured that other Petronas stations are not affected.

"We sent our team to the petrol station after being alerted on the viral message. This is part of our preliminary action and the petrol station had given good cooperation," the Ministry's enforcement chief Azman Adam told New Straits Times.

He added that petrol samples have been taken from the station and will be sent to the Chemistry Department to determine the composition of the substance.

Utusan Malaysia reported that the station is undergoing "maintenance works" and will be reopened at 7pm later today.
