Penans block gas pipeline project in Ulu Baram

October 3, 2013

Dateline 2013-08-18, Borneo Post:

About 100 Penans from Long Meraan, Sg Magoh, in Ulu Baram, had set up blockades at five roads since Aug 7, to protest against the Sabah-Sarawak gas pipeline project.

Friends of the Earth Malaysia (SAM) president SM Mohamed Idris claimed in a statement yesterday that the blockade was made following the failure of the company concerned to heed the plight of the people. It is also against the authorities for allegedly dishonouring their promises made to the Penans.

SAM quoted Long Meraan headman Belaweng Tunau as saying the laying of the pipelines had affected the villagers and environment negatively.

Malaysian oil services firms tumble after Petronas project delay

September 24, 2013

Dateline 2013-07-31, Reuters:

Investors sold off shares in Malaysian oil and gas services firms after Reuters reported state-owned Petronas will start a planned $19 billion petrochemicals complex in 2018, signalling a delay in awarding work contracts for the massive project.
