From the Edge (which has disabled text copying on its pages) dateline 2013-04-02. And when he coming round to see us poor folks?

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak warned staff of national oil and gas firm Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) that the opposition’s promises on Malaysia’s resources could bring “economic disaster” if implemented.

King of the past reaching for Malaysia oil reserves

March 28, 2013

Yeah, baby. Someone else said it, not me. Dateline 2013-03-19, from RT (what the heck is RT?)

Malaysia, boasting the third-largest oil reserves in the Asia-Pacific region, finds itself on the verge of a military fight over its richest region.

Malaysia has been in the midst of an ongoing security crisis since early February, when a group of 235 rag-tag militiamen from the neighboring southern Philippines slipped into the eastern state of Sabah and began occupying several villages. While engaging police in multiple firefights, the insurgents beheaded and mutilated several captured Malaysian security personnel, prompting Malaysian forces to deploy fighter jets in an unprecedented air assault over the area in an operation to flush out the intruders. The gunmen call themselves the “Royal Army of the Sulu Sultanate,” representing the heirs of a long-defunct kingdom which once controlled the territory up until the late nineteenth century. The so-called Sultan of Sulu, Jamalul Kiram III, who is believed to be directing the militant incursion from Manila, insists that Sabah is rightfully part of his kingdom and has vowed not budge on his claims even if his personnel are killed in the standoff.
