The man, 63, and his wife, 67, arrived at the Kulai police headquarters to assist with the investigation, Kulai police chief Tan Seng Lee said on Jan. 5.
Tan added that the investigation paper will be processed and referred to the deputy public prosecutor.
What happened
The incident occurred in Kulai on Jan. 2 at about 10:36pm.
A short video on Jan. 3 showed a man refuelling a car with subsidised RON95 fuel meant only for Malaysia-registered vehicles.
