Several motorists have claimed on social media that their vehicles reportedly stalled after refuelling at a petrol station in Sarawak. Its director, Matthew Dominic Barin, said the investigation was initiated after a complaint regarding the incident went viral on social media, with several consumers allegedly affected, reported Bernama. "On Dec 24 at about 2.30pm, a team of four enforcement officers from Sarawak KPDN conducted an inspection at the petrol station following a complaint received from the Sarawak Roads Update Facebook page. He said swift action had been taken by state KPDN against the petrol station involved to ensure compliance with regulations and to protect consumer rights. For a second or subsequent offence, the offender may be fined up to RM250,000 or imprisoned for a period not exceeding five years, or both," he said.
