From Bernama – Anifah Takes PETRONAS to Task

May 7, 2011

Out of curiosity, is there some resurgence of East Malaysia citizens who wish to partake in the nation’s development closer to home?

Dateline 2011-04-30:

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman took Petronas to task Saturday, saying that the national oil corporation did not give opportunities to the Bumiputera community in Sabah.

He said the only thing to show that Petronas was open to working with local companies was a memorandum of understanding (MOU) it signed with the Malay Chamber of Commerce Malaysia (DPMM) with regard to its oil and gas project in Kimanis.

Even then, it was not good enough as the MOU was not legally binding and therefore not enforceable, he said when opening the DPMM Sabah chapter’s 13th annual general meeting here Saturday.

Anifah noted that Petronas, upon embarking on the multi-billion ringgit project, had sidelined local companies and engaged concessionaries from outside Sabah.

From Upstream Online – MMHE denies Sime asset talks

May 5, 2011

Ah, did they or didn’t they?

Dateline 2011-04-27:

The heavy engineering unit of state-run Petronas has denied rumours it is in talks to buy oil and gas assets from fellow Malaysian company Sime Darby.

A spokesperson for Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE) told Upstream today that there was no basis to reports the company was looking to buy any assets from Sime.

When questioned if the companies had entered any form of discussions over the assets the spokesperson simply replied “not at the moment.”

However there is little doubt that MMHE would welcome discussions to expand its current yard capacity.

Does this strengthen Kelantan’s compensation claim?

Dateline 2011-04-25:
