Work as a team to develop Malaysia, PM tells Petronas, Petros

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has called on national oil and gas company Petronas and Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros) to collaborate as a team in order to develop Malaysia, according to reports from Free Malaysia Today. The ongoing dispute between the two entities has resulted in Petronas seeking clarification from the Federal Court on which laws govern its operations in Sarawak.

Anwar, who is also the finance minister, emphasized the importance of both companies respecting and acknowledging both state and federal rights and laws. He stated that there is no reason why the commercial agreement between Petronas and Petros cannot be resolved, and that Malaysia has the capacity to address and resolve any issues within the federation.
