Pertimbangan komersial tak boleh atas hak Sarawak, kata senator
Ahmad Ibrahim berkata nilai wang terlibat tidak boleh menentukan siapa ada bidang kuasa undang-undang ke atas sektor minyak dan gas negeri.
Senator Ahmad Ibrahim, a member of the Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), has stated that commercial considerations cannot supersede the constitutional rights of Sarawak. He dismissed former Law Minister Zaid Ibrahim's claim that Petronas would face a billion-ringgit loss if the company's gas aggregation role is taken over by Sarawak's Petroleum (Petros).
Senator Ahmad, from Sarawak, emphasized that the amount of money involved should not determine who has the legal authority over the oil and gas sector in Sarawak. He quoted Dayak Daily in explaining that the declaration of Anwar Ibrahim and Abang Johari on May 21st last year has created a framework where both federal and state laws can coexist harmoniously.
This should not be a battle between Petronas and Petros, or Malaysia against Sarawak. A matured federation should strive to accommodate both.
