1924
Minyak Afiat was founded in 1924 by Tuan Haji Panjang Kamaruddin from Tambun, Perak. He was inspired to create the oil after recovering from paralysis using a formulation of leaves and tree roots.
Initially, the oil was made to be donated to the villagers, but it later became a source of income.
After his death, the oil business was continued by his nephew, Tuan Haji Khalid bin Uda Ismail, and his adopted daughter, Puan Badariah.

1970
In 1970, the bottling process for Afiat oil was still done manually, with the oil being filled into bottles by hand.
This approach indicates that the company at that time still relied on human labor to carry out the bottling tasks, which were done traditionally.
The use of manual methods may have been influenced by the limitations of automation technology available at the time, where modern machines had not yet been fully introduced or might not have been practical for the bottling of Afiat oil at that period.
