Malaysia International Chambers of Commerce and Industry (MICCI) Sabah Branch wants the state government to continue pushing Petronas to ensure there is enough gas for Sabah’s own development.
“We strongly request the state government to urge Petronas to commit that in all its projects, the first opportunity is given to local consultants and qualified local companies so they will not end up being sub-contractors or sub, sub, sub contractors earning mere peanuts,” said MICCI Sabah Branch chairman, Datuk A Arulpragasam.
Speaking during MICCI Sabah Branch’s annual luncheon here yesterday, he added that despite the setting up of the Sipitang Oil and Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP), there would still be a shortage of gas for development of downstream industries as most of the Sabah gas would be piped to Bintulu.
