KUCHING, April 17 — There is nothing to celebrate about Sarawak gaining control and management of its gas distribution because it is ‘only a small portion’ compared to its major rights and privileges in petroleum, said Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) publicity secretary Liu Thian Leong.
“With the enforcement of the Petroleum Development Act on Oct 1, 1974, Sarawak had lost the entire ownership in, and the exclusive rights, powers, liberties and privileges of exploring, exploiting, winning and obtaining petroleum whether onshore or offshore. We only get five per cent — the rest goes to Petronas,” he said in a statement today.
