Armizan: Preliminary tests on 43 RON95 samples find no significant water contamination

The preliminary laboratory testing of petrol samples revealed water content below detectable levels, addressing concerns of contamination.

Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali indicated that initial tests prioritized water detection; all 43 tested samples exhibited water content under 0.05 percent.

This investigation was sparked by viral allegations of petrol contamination in Selangor and northern states, with inspections initiated after formal complaints were lodged.

A total of 262 samples were collected for comprehensive analysis, and a detailed report will be released following further testing.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — Preliminary laboratory tests on 43 petrol samples found water content below the minimum detection level, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.

Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said testing for water was given immediate priority, as a comprehensive analysis of all liquid properties and foreign contaminants would take more time.

“According to the preliminary report received from the Department of Chemistry dated October 29, 2026, all 43 samples analyzed recorded a water content of less than 0.05 per cent,” he said during Question Time.

“This figure falls well below the minimum threshold required for reporting, indicating no significant water contamination in the initial batch tested.”

The tests followed viral allegations that some petrol stations in Selangor and the northern states were selling contaminated RON95 that caused damage to cars. The claims first surfaced online last month and were later reported by the media.

Armizan said the remaining samples were still undergoing rigorous laboratory testing, and that a full report would be released to the public once the Department of Chemistry completes its analysis.

He said the first formal complaint was lodged with his ministry (KPDN) on October 3, prompting targeted inspections in Selangor and Perak. Perak received 25 complaints involving various petrol stations in the state throughout October.

As of October 31, inspections had covered eight petrol station brands across eight states, as well as three oil company depots.

A total of 262 RON95 samples were collected — 259 from petrol stations and three from oil company depots, Armizan told Parliament. — Bernama

初步实验室对汽油样品的检测结果显示，其含水量低于可检测水平，消除了人们对污染的担忧。

国内贸易和生活成本部长拿督阿米赞·莫哈末·阿里表示，初步测试的重点是检测水分；所有 43 个测试样本的含水量均低于 0.05%。

此次调查的起因是网上流传的有关雪兰莪州和北部各州汽油受到污染的指控，在接到正式投诉后，相关部门展开了检查。

共采集了 262 个样本进行全面分析，待进一步测试后将发布详细报告。

吉隆坡，11月5日讯——今天，国会下议院获悉，对43个汽油样本进行的初步实验室测试发现，其含水量低于最低检测标准。

国内贸易及生活成本部长拿督阿米赞·莫哈末·阿里表示，水质检测被列为当务之急，因为对所有液体特性和外来污染物进行全面分析需要更多时间。

“根据化学系 2026 年 10 月 29 日的初步报告，分析的 43 个样本的含水量均低于 0.05%。”他在问答环节中说道。

“该数值远低于报告所需的最低阈值，表明最初检测的批次中没有明显的水污染。”

此前有传言称，雪兰莪州和北部各州的一些加油站出售受污染的RON95汽油，会导致汽车损坏。这些传言最早于上个月出现在网上，随后被媒体报道。

阿米赞表示，剩余的样本仍在接受严格的实验室测试，化学系完成分析后，将向公众发布完整报告。

他表示，首起正式投诉于10月3日提交至其部门（印尼石油发展部），随后在雪兰莪州和霹雳州展开了专项检查。10月份，霹雳州共收到25起涉及各加油站的投诉。

截至 10 月 31 日，检查范围已涵盖 8 个州的 8 个加油站品牌以及 3 个石油公司油库。

阿米赞向国会表示，共采集了262份RON95汽油样品，其中259份来自加油站，3份来自石油公司油库。——马新社
