PETALING JAYA: A post by The United States Embassy in Kuala Lumpur led to joking quips and comments by Malaysians who made it clear the country "has no oil" for the Americans. The post by the embassy showed a 2016 photo of the country taken from the International Space Station. Fakhri Kamarudin quipped that the country only had cooking oil. "Please tell your president we don't have oil... we only have Saji cooking oil," the user wrote. Another by the name of Sayyid Hadi Samsudim wrote "I don't see any oil," while Norhikmal Crixalis added "FYI, our oil is only baby oil.".
