Kedah KPDN director Muhammad Nizam Jamaludin said the KPDN’s Sungai Petani branch carried out an inspection at the petrol station concerned following the circulation of a video recording on social media.

He said the recording showed a petrol station worker filling RON95 petrol into the tank of a foreign-registered vehicle.
