Hi everyone!

I'm a student intern supposed to study cooking oil and how people in Malaysia select the brand they choose. Currently slapped onto an assignment that requires me to study different cooking oils but mostly palm oil. Before this, I never even knew there were different grades and different types of cooking oil (i.e. vegetable, blended, corn, etc.) Silly me.

Anyone interested in helping contribute to my survey? It would be a big help. Thank you so much in advance!

so how many response did you get?
your questions could have been phrased/prepared better though, imo. and use drop down list/multiple choices where possible. leaving the answer totally open (as in open text, not multiple choices) just opens up the query to a very-very wide possibility of answers that it may not be possible to draw a definitive conclusion.
if you have /ktards coming in to do the survey, imagine what sort of audacious answers you would get.

great study, possible to share me your finding?
i do wonder, all the palm oil base cooking oil sell in the market is same quality?
what the different of the oil from different brand?

Around 20 plus, still looking for more. I do understand that it could have been phrased better, but the questions were pre-set for me and my task is just to get the questions out unfortunately #internprobs. And about the drop down/multiple choices, yeah, I get it it does open up quite strange answers but since the research seems to want more qualitative over quantitative answers (in terms of insight on personal stories, connections, etc.) I guess it could work in this case. Been getting some pretty interesting favourite recipes and why so far.

Thankfully no /ktards meddling with the survey results yet!

Might not be possible to share all my findings due to privacy regulations but I can share some insights with you when we're actually done with the research study.

Apparently not, didn't know but palm oil has an internal quality grading system (i.e. A, B, C, D, E) which ranks the palm oil brands, but those grades are not printed onto the packaging design so consumers don't know. So far only one brand is in the A tier, which is Seri Murni, hence a bit more expensive than the rest.

more interested without those grading.
cause as of i know, many chinese not dare to buy and use those malay name oil.
I would like to know what really different between those oil.

chinese mostly will get helang, neptune, knife and so on.

they hardly will get seri murni, cap buruh and so on.

i noticed a lot of ppl are afraid of gutter oil (even though it makes no sense to sell gutter oil in malaysia when we can process and ship it to china for more profit)
