00:00Without this idea, what-what rune-gun can they be?
00:03Because you can talk about a different language.
00:05Of course.
00:05You're not talking about the same language.
00:06One will be referring to its laws, one will be referring to its laws.
00:09So, how do we understand that rune-guns is going well between PMX and Dato' Pertengi and Abang Johari.
00:18But, the main thing is that you have to set the baseline.
00:23You have to anchor the negotiation on something.
00:25That you can both force to agree on.
00:27Force to agree on.
00:29Petronas' move to seek judicial clarity over the applicable laws that govern its operations
00:34is vital to establishing a legal foundation for ongoing negotiations over gas rights in Sarawak,
00:40former Minister Khairi Jamaluddin said.
00:43The former UMNO leader said the National Oil and Gas Company's ongoing negotiations with
00:49Petroleum's Sarawak Berhad and the Sarawak government would be ineffective otherwise.
00:54Khairi said Petronas had made the right decision in seeking clarification
00:57from the federal court, noting that the lack of legal clarity has already affected industry
01:02stakeholders and investors in the gas sector.
01:05There are many people who don't know who to talk about the gas industry in Sarawak.
01:13Whether they want to talk about Petronas or Petros.
01:16A 2023 amendment to Sarawak's Distribution of Gas Ordinance 2016 requires Petronas to secure
01:22gas distribution licenses for its operations in the state, putting the enactment at odds with
01:27the Petroleum Development Act 1974, which vests in Petronas' exclusive rights to oil and gas
01:33resources nationwide.
01:35Petronas and Petros along with federal and state authorities have long been locked in a dispute
01:40over gas distribution rights in Sarawak.
