In a major bust by Malaysian authorities, a large-scale counterfeit engine oil syndicate has been dismantled. Thirteen individuals were arrested for manufacturing and distributing fake lubricant products across the country. The operation, believed to have been active for years, posed a serious risk to unsuspecting drivers and car owners who unknowingly purchased low-quality engine oil that could damage their vehicles.
