Malaysian Energy Giant Causes Stir Over Need to Move Chinese Graves

September 19, 2014

Ah, I this ties into other info I received.

Dateline 2014-07-04, TWSJ:

State-owned oil and gas giant Petronas is facing an outcry by some southern Malaysians whose ancestors’ graves are being moved from a small cluster of Chinese cemeteries to make way for a $25 billion gas project. One Chinese farmer walked 500 miles to protest.

So far, more than half of the graves have been dug up and moved to a plot of state land, sparking at least nine lawsuits and the walk by farmer Chua Peng San. Eight of the lawsuits have been successful; one is still pending.

The farmer, from Pengerang, a rural coastal area in the southwestern tip of Johor, walked to Parliament and Petronas headquarters, both in Kuala Lumpur.

September 15, 2014

Talbiyah (from 123muslim.com)

Buy my recommendations, or through my Amazon store. Or get the Young Turks series (all 4 books). Where are those corporate sponsors? Or throw donations at me. I need RM360 to get The Star ePaper. Or go to Hajj, whichever you prefer.

  • I’m lining up jobs for next quarter, for IGL Services. Whisper to (better yet, carpe jugulum) your boss, and send work my way.
  • Nothing interesting in the papers this week

Support your local bookshop!  Bookalicious at The Summit Subang is a good choice. I think they focus on trilogies, quadrilogies, and other ologies. Tell them I sent you, and enjoy the look of perplexity on their faces. Those of you who have dropped my name, thanks!

Food choice of the week? How if you visit Vietnam, how about visiting and updating GoHalalVietnam! for your food needs. For your other needs, talk to your local tour guide/ concierge / man on the street.

Cap Petronas’;s dividends to Putrajaya, says Selangor rep

September 9, 2014

Dateline 2014-06-28, MSN (that’ a first):

Petronas’s dividends to Putrajaya should be capped to ensure the national oil and gas company would continue to grow in the long run, a Selangor lawmaker said today.

Damansara Utama assemblywoman Yeo Bee Yin said between 2008 and 2012, Petronas paid 55% to 68% of their profits to Putrajaya in the form of dividends.

“The average percentage of payouts of national oil companies around the world is only 38%.

“In order to ensure Petronas’s long-term growth, it is time to amend Section 4 of the Petroleum Development Act 1974 to cap Petronas’s dividends,” she said in a statement today.

Sabah NGO: No tricks please, it’s our oil!

September 6, 2014

Oo, Perkasa is an ‘extremist fringe group’. This comment is made by a group that doesn’t feel safe enough to operate in Malaysia.

Dateline 2014-06-27, FMT:

The UK-based Borneo’s Plight in Malaysia Foundation (BoPIM), a human rights organisation on Sabah, Sarawak rights issues, has expressed dismay that the national oil corporation Petronas and an extremist fringe group in the corridors of power are engaged in a war of words over who owns the country’s oil and gas resources.

“There are no two ways about it,” said BoPIM President Daniel John Jambun in a telephone call to FMT in Kota Kinabalu. “The oil and gas reserves in the country belong, by and large, to the people of Sabah and Sarawak and no one in the peninsula should imagine that it belongs exclusively to their community.”
