Thanks to 1MDB, Petronas now enjoys huge reserves, says Najib
December 25, 2018There you go.
Dateline 2018-11-06, FMT:
Days after two former ministers blamed 1MDB for Barisan Nasional’s defeat in the May 9 polls, Najib Razak has defended the state investment arm and says it indirectly helped Petronas increase its reserves.
In a Facebook post, the former prime minister said that for 15 years up to 2012, the national petroleum company was forced to subsidise gas that it supplied to independent power producers (IPP).

Analysis: Trans-ASEAN gas projects losing relevance amid the fast-paced LNG growth
December 24, 2018Not a purely Malaysian item, but since some of our longdistance pipelines were meant to be part of the network, it’s interesting.
Dateline 2018-11-07, S&P Global:

STAR: Sarawak should get part of Petronas dividend
December 20, 2018Dateline 2018-11-03, Malay Mail:

She said Sarawak is producing as much as 800,000 boe (barrel oil equivalent) per day, and with the oil price hovering around US$77 per barrel, it is equivalent to RM250 million on a daily basis.

December 18, 2018Personally, I would prefer Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor.
Dateline 2018-11-02, The Edge:
Malaysia should leverage on its strong biodiesel exports and be more aggressive in the implementation of its B10 biodiesel mandate, according to Sathia Varqa, owner and co-founder of Singapore-based Palm Oil Analytics (POA).
“Malaysia is not only late, but is missing the window of opportunity since April when crude palm oil (CPO) started to become cheaper than gas oil (diesel),” Varqa told theedgemarkets.com.
