Time to reverse the flow of oil revenue, says SAS

August 18, 2018

Dateline 2018-06-13, Borneo Post:

Solidariti Anak Sarawak (SAS) founder Peter John Jaban said it is time for Sarawak to consider keeping 95 per cent of oil revenue for the state and give the balance to the federal government.

“It is time to reverse the flow – with Sarawak giving the federal government five per cent of the oil revenue and keeping the remaining 95 per cent for the people of Sarawak,” he said.

Speaking to reporters after a gathering at the Kuching Waterfront yesterday to show support for the Sarawak government, Peter John said that revenue from oil sits at the heart of the autonomy issue which has been the principal driver of policy and feeling in Sarawak over the past few years.

“The question is simple – whether the people of the Borneo states should receive the benefits of the resources that have been part of their territory since long before Malaysia was even conceived.

Sabah will pursue 20% oil royalty demand, assures Shafie

July 21, 2018

Dateline 2018-07-07, FMT:

Sabah Chief Minister Shafie Apdal has maintained that the state will work on its demand for 20% oil royalty from the federal government in line with his party’s manifesto for the recent general election.

“What we’ve spelled out in the manifesto, our 20% oil royalty, we’ll pursue it,” the Parti Warisan Sabah president said on the sidelines of an event here today.

Shafie had said on April 27, while launching the party’s 13-point manifesto, that Warisan would ensure the oil royalty due to the state increased from the current 5% to at least 20% if it won the state in the polls.


Malaysia investigates Chinese gas pipeline deals for fraud, possible corruption

July 20, 2018

Dateline 2018-06-07, Taiwan News:

Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission has begun an investigation into two gas pipeline projects contracted to a Chinese company on suspicion of fraud and violation of contract terms.

Malaysia’s Finance Minister, Lim Guan Eng will head to Beijing to discuss the deals and other infrastructure projects with a mandate to potentially terminate some of the agreements, according to the Nikkei Asian Review.

Lim said that it was “highly suspicious” that around 88 percent of the cost of the two pipeline projects had been paid to the China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau (CPPB), despite only 13 percent of the work being done.

The Finance Ministry also alleges that the awarding of the contract did not follow protocol, leading to a case being filed by Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission.


Sabah should join Sarawak to fight Petronas

July 16, 2018

Aaand where are they selling the tickets for this tag team grudge match? And why is the reporter’s pic in the article, showing him wearing a bulletproof vest? ‘Battle royale’ with 3 participants? Fortnite, much?

Dateline 2018-06-13, FMT:

It was reported on June 5 that Petronas had gone to court to seek a declaration that under the Petroleum Development Act 1974 (PDA), the national oil company had exclusive rights over oil and gas resources in Malaysia.

Petronas’ move is in response to Sarawak’s announcement on March 7 that it had assumed full control of oil and gas resources within its territorial boundaries.

The legal test initiated by Petronas is shaping up to become a battle royale between a corporate body and a founding state of Malaysia.

 


Has Sarawak been shortchanged?

July 13, 2018

You mean, has Sarawak been hoodwinked by a fly by night, quick fingered, sleight of hand working man?

Dateline 2018-06-06, Borneo Post:

HAS the PH government broken its promises to the people of Sarawak and Sabah vis-à-vis its Pakatan Harapan Book (Buku Harapan), outlining the four-party coalition’s election manifesto?

As events unfolded with the first bombshell dropped on Sarawak on Monday by Petronas in a suit, seeking legal redress to its oil and gas rights in the state, let us take a look specifically on petroleum rights.

First, let it be known that Petroleum Development Act 1974 (PDA 1974) empowers the Prime Minister to make regulations for the purpose of putting into effect the provisions of PDA 1974 in the conduct or the carrying on of any business or services relating to the explorations, exploitations, winning or obtaining of petroleum.
