KUALA LUMPUR: The Sarawak Government extended its deepest appreciation to the Prime Minister Datuk Anwar Ibrahim for his recent statement during the press conference in Abu Dhabi, which addressed the ongoing PETRONAS-PETROS issue.

A statement released by its Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Zohari Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg said the Sarawak Government and PETROS would work closely with the Federal Government and PETRONAS to ensure that PETROS carries out its role as the sole gas aggregator without interruption to the supply of gas for consumers, including investors.

“The Sarawak Government also appreciates the roles of the Federal Government and PETRONAS in resolving this issue. This would enhance collaboration between the Federal and Sarawak Government, PETRONAS and PETROS. Such strategic collaborations will drive the efforts to make Malaysia, and Sarawak in particular into becoming an energy hub.”

“This cooperation will also enhance Malaysia's global competitiveness in attracting investments, technological research and new industries, particularly petrochemical derivatives and thus aligned towards the creation of high-paying jobs and the economic growth of the nation.”
