00:00Sarawakians want a fair solution to the state's dispute with Putrajaya over its oil and gas rights.
00:08This is what Puncak Borneo MP Willie Mong Nin said at the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday,
00:12emphasising that only a win-win solution could ensure mutual prosperity.
00:17Willie also urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to use his absolute powers under the Petroleum
00:22Development Act 1974 to rectify the imbalances with Sarawak's oil and gas rights.
00:28He said one such imbalance was the fact that 94% of the total 4.5 billion standard
00:34cubic feet per day of natural gas production in Sarawak is exported abroad by Petronas.
00:59Is this fair to Sarawak?
01:02Why is it that 94% or a portion of the natural gas is managed by Petros as a single aggregator
01:11to increase the percentage of domestic use?
01:15In January, Anwar said issues concerning Petronas and Petros over the right to distribute gas in
01:20Sarawak had been resolved following negotiations and a meeting with Premier Abang Johari Oping.
01:26Earlier this month, Law and Institutional Reform Minister Azalina Ofmansahid said
01:31Sarawak had accepted that the PDA dictated the operation of Malaysia's petroleum sector,
01:36not state ordinances.
