Petronas blames RAPID delay on Johor


Now, if the old Sultan of Johor was around…

Dateline 2013-06-05:

The RM60 billion Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) project will not be completed on time due to delays by the Johor government, state oil and gas company PETRONAS said today.

The mega project was previously slated to start operations in 2016, but PETRONAS announced today that the date has been pushed to early 2017.

“There has been some delay to state government, which includes housing … There have been delays in moving the Muslim cemeteries,” said PETRONAS president and group CEO Tan Sri Datuk Shamsul Azhar Abbas at a media briefing here.
