PIPC supporters say it’s on track to become ‘Rotterdam of the East’


Dateline 2014-06-30, Malaysia Chronicle:

CONTRARY to what detractors say, the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) in Johor is alive and kicking, and on track to become the “Rotterdam of the East”.

Rotterdam of the Netherlands is the world’s largest petroleum and gas hub, followed by Houston in the United States and Singapore.

Almost the size of Singapore, Pengerang, located at the most southeastern tip of Peninsular Malaysia, houses the sprawling 8,000ha PIPC, which is set to become the region’s oil and gas (O&G) hub and promises to provide some 70,000 jobs to locals.
