Pengerang rides on oil and gas boom

October 7, 2012

Dateline 2012-09-16:

PENGERANG, once a sleepy corner of Johor, is fast turning into a boom town for petroleum investors as the government steps up efforts to turn Malaysia into a regional oil and gas hub, rivalling Singapore.

Located south of Desaru, on the southeastern tip of Johor facing Singapore, Pengerang became the British army’s “Waterloo” in 1936 when they paid the price for underestimating their biggest nemesis then — the Japanese army.

The Japanese captured Malaya without firing a single shot from the Pengerang battery (a fort where weapons such as guns and cannon were stationed) when they surprised the British by landing in Kota Baru instead of Singapore. (The battery was part of the “Singapore fortress”, aimed at defending Singapore from a sea attack.)


Pertamina wants higher natural gas price from Petronas

October 2, 2012

Dateline 2012-09-15:

Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) says it is in talks with Malaysia’s Petroliam Nasional (Petronas) and Petro Vietnam Exploration and Production (PVEP) to raise the price of natural gas from its oil and gas block in Malaysia.

PHE, a subsidiary of state-run oil and gas firm PT Pertamina, started the talks after it realized its concession for the SK-305 block also contained natural gas that it could not sell at what it thought was a good price.

PHE president director Salis S. Aprilian said on Thursday that Pertamina and PVEP agreed to negotiate a gas price that was more economic and competitive.

Y’know, a while back they actually included how much tax was waived. I think the amount is the same as or more than the subside.

Maybe the powers that be decided that showing that information is an oops? Get the relevant act here.
