An incident that occurred at a petrol station in Kelantan has served as a stark reminder that one should take every precaution while refuelling a vehicle.
In the incident, which took place at a station in Kuala Krai, a fire broke out inside a car during refuelling – apparently, a young boy sparked a lighter in the cabin, igniting the fumes that were present. As the CCTV footage shows, it didn’t look pretty. The boy is said to have been admitted to hospital for treatment, but there was no mention of his condition.
Here's what NOT to do when you're at a fuel station…

We’ve previously said that care and caution needs to be exercised while refuelling a vehicle. In an earlier post this year, we ran a public service announcement video that highlighted the do’s and don’ts when refuelling at a petrol station.
Fuel is obviously flammable. In fact, it’s not just the fuel itself; even the fumes are flammable, as the incident in Kuala Krai showed. The last thing you want is to ignite it. So, make sure the lighters are tucked away, and remember to keep those engines switched off.

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments highlight concerns about safety lapses that led to the car fire, emphasizing the dangers of opening car doors during refueling and children playing with lighters. Many blame parental negligence, lack of awareness, and ignorance about safety protocols, while some criticize Malaysian drivers' entitled and careless attitudes. There is a recurring call for better education on fuel station safety, proper child supervision, and responsible behavior. Several comments favor electric vehicles as a safer alternative, and there’s a general frustration with the society's complacency toward preventable accidents. Off-topic remarks and humorous banter are present but do not detract from the main focus on safety awareness and the need for responsible conduct to prevent such incidents.
