00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Sarawak and Petronas are in the process of ironing
00:06out the details of the rights to oil and gas resources in and around the state.
00:12He confirmed that a resolution had been reached with both sides agreeing on general principles.
00:18Anwar said he had a good session with the Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Oping and both
00:23parties are working on the details, parameters and legal implications of the matter.
00:29Anwar's statement came a day after Abang Johari revealed that a solution had been reached
00:34regarding the long-standing dispute between Sarawak and Petronas over ONG rights in the state.
00:40Over the past year, Sarawak has pressed hard for Petronas to ink a deal that would make
00:45petroleum Sarawak Berhad the sole gas aggregator in the state.
00:49Last month, Abang Johari refuted suggestions that his state was acting greedily, saying
00:55it was merely exercising a constitutional right to distribute gas which belongs to the state.
01:01He previously said Sarawak was prepared to battle any party that disrespects its rights
01:06in the court of law.
