Petronas using 'every trick under the sun' to undermine Sarawak's rights
Published on: Saturday, May 03, 2025 Published on: Sat, May 03, 2025 Text Size: Bernama KUCHING: Political analyst Dato Peter Minos has accused Petronas of using 'every trick under the sun' to weaken Sarawak's control over its oil and gas resources, describing the national oil company's alleged tactics as unacceptable, DayakDaily reported. Minos said attempts to use the 'flawed' Petroleum Development Act 1974 (PDA74) to erase Sarawak's rights, along with pressure campaigns against the State and its energy company Petros, must be opposed. 'Using flawed PDA74 to erase our rights is simply unacceptable. Applying pressure on Sarawak by underhanded tactics, like threats and press war, is also unacceptable,' he was quoted as saying. He stressed that oil and gas within Sarawak's territory and continental shelf rightfully belong to the State, under the Oil Mining Ordinance 1958 and by natural rights. 'We are not asking for the moon. We just want a bit more from our own oil and gas resources,' said Minos, urging Petronas to treat Sarawak with fairness. While acknowledging Petronas' role in national development, Minos reaffirmed the priority of Sarawak's rights. He called on Sarawakians to stand behind Petros in defending those rights. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

He regards enhanced collaboration between government arms and lawmakers is vital towards ensuring that Serian's development would be on a par with its other counterparts such as Samarahan. According to him, each government agency plays a pivotal role in planning and implementing development projects in Serian. 'The Serian District Council cannot work alone; therefore, cooperation from all parties including the elected representatives: namely Serian MP, Tebedu and Balai Ringin assemblymen as well as the district agencies, is very much needed,' he said according to a Sarawak Public Communication Unit (Ukas) report during the council's Aidilfitri gathering at a hotel in Serian today. An award ceremony was also held in conjunction with the event in appreciation of the hard work and commitment of the staff. Adding on, Minos said he was committed to working with all parties to ensure that Serian town would continue to see further development and could become an attractive tourist destination. He extended his appreciation to his predecessor Inting Nyami, now the Tebedu District Officer, for his excellent leadership throughout his tenure. 'It is hoped that with this combination of new and experienced staff members, our dream of making Serian a progressive and prosperous town will be achieved,' said Minos.
