‘It will erode customer trust': Syndicates reuse original bottles to sell fake engine oil, Domestic Trade Ministry warns consumers
KUALA LUMPUR, May 25 — Sellers of counterfeit engine oil are using deceptive tactics to mislead consumers, including reusing original oil bottles and refilling them with low-quality recycled oil. The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) said in a statement that its investigations found fake engine oil being sold on e-commerce platforms at prices significantly lower than genuine products. 'In addition, the syndicate uses plastic containers that closely resemble the original packaging and distributes them to vehicle workshops and spare part shops that are not authorised dealers of the engine oil brand,' the ministry said, as reported by Harian Metro. 'There are ways to avoid being deceived. Consumers should purchase engine oil from authorised dealers or branded petrol stations,' KPDN said. The ministry also advised consumers to scan the QR code or check the serial number on the packaging to verify the product and examine the container closely to avoid counterfeits. A vehicle workshop operator in Shah Alam, who wished to be known only as Wan, said counterfeit and low-quality engine oil is a real issue in the market. 'Based on experience, using low-quality or recycled engine oil will have noticeable effects on the vehicle,' he said. 'The engine will feel heavy and when you open the internal parts, it's as if the car has been running on burnt oil.' Wan said he never recommends fake oil to customers as it risks damaging vehicles and tarnishing his workshop's reputation. 'It will erode customer trust,' he added. He usually recommends genuine engine oil with a product warranty to assure customers of its quality. 'However, the issue also lies with consumers. Most of them want cheaper prices, which contributes to the spread of these products. 'Without demand, there would be no supply. Some recycled engine oil is even refilled into bottles of well-known brands, making it hard to detect,' he said. Another workshop operator in Kajang, who identified himself as Kamal, said the price of genuine engine oil starts from RM80, depending on whether it is semi-synthetic or fully synthetic. 'Some workshops offer package deals for RM50, including air filter replacement and service costs. 'That price is unrealistic for a business to make profit, which means something is not right with the oil being sold,' he said. Kamal said some foreign-owned workshops sell these products, and he has personally seen used engine oil containers being washed and refilled with recycled oil. 'It's up to the consumers. If there's no demand, there will be no supply of counterfeit engine oil,' he added. Meanwhile, Harian Metro reported that banners promoting cheap engine oil offers were observed at several workshops in Shah Alam.

Dismayed Chinese students ponder prospects after Trump Harvard ban
The sharp escalation in Trump's longstanding feud with the elite Cambridge, Massachusetts-based college came as tensions simmer between Washington and Beijing over trade and other issues. Around 1,300 Chinese students are currently enrolled at Harvard, according to official figures, and hundreds of thousands more attend other universities in a country long viewed by many in China as a beacon of academic freedom and rigour. Admissions consultant Xiaofeng Wan, who advises overseas students on getting into top US universities, told AFP he had been on the phone with panicked clients all evening. "I've got questions not only from families but also from school-based college counsellors in China as well, including principals of high schools," Wan said, speaking by phone from Massachusetts. "They were all shocked by the news. They could not believe that this actually happened." On the streets of Beijing on Friday, budding international students told AFP they feared their scholarly ambitions were now hanging in the balance. "I'm a bit panicked to be honest," said Jennifer, who was planning to attend college in the United States this autumn. While she did not intend to apply to Harvard, "budget cuts and enrollment restrictions affect all universities in the United States, regardless of where you apply", said the 20-year-old, who declined to give her surname. Jennifer said she worried Trump's policies would "affect my chances of getting admitted" to her top choice, Ohio State University, which said last month that the federal government had revoked the visas of at least seven of its international students. "My classmates and I feel like we don't have any particularly good solutions to this issue, other than being pessimistic," she said. 'Sense of panic' Trump has blasted Harvard for refusing to submit to government oversight on admissions and hiring, and has repeatedly claimed it is rife with anti-Semitism and "woke" liberal ideology. US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X that Thursday's move would also hold Harvard "accountable for... coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus", without giving details. In a swift response, Harvard slammed the revocation as "unlawful". China's foreign ministry was quick to criticise the move on Friday, saying the ban would "only harm the image and international standing of the United States". The number of Chinese students at American universities has been declining in recent years but still stood at nearly 280,000 in the 2023-24 academic year, according to figures from the US State Department and the Institute of International Education. Entire industries have sprung up in China in recent decades as millions of people have risen into the middle class and ploughed money into lucrative foreign educations for their children. "There's a great sense of panic among the international student community, both current and prospective," said Wan, the Massachusetts-based consultant. They are "concerned that the country of the US is closing the door on them", he said. "(It's) not helpful for a country that thrives on talents from abroad... and whose fundamental engine in research is supported by international talent." © 2025 AFP
