It is time for the Petroleum Act to be abolished and replaced by Petroleum Enactments in Sabah and Sarawak that provides for the two East Malaysian states to take over the ownership and control of all oil and gas.

Harris said the two states can from their respective organisations to undertake the exploration and development of oil and gas.

“The Federal Government’s revenue from oil and gas can come from the income tax from these state organisations. This move would streamline the Federal policy on the management of assets found in individual states, such as timber and land,” he said.
