Malacca Johore Diocese News Update #222
Implosion is expected within PKR; Petronas-Petros dispute continues; unhappy doctors march to Putrajaya, a DAP rep reminds a politician that the nation belongs to all, not just the Malays. May 16, 2025 Welcome dear friends. Local takes: 'No man is an island. No man stands alone.' In a borderless and globalised world, can we remain untouched, untaught and unlearning? The US tariffs talks, if it fails, investors may divest and move elsewhere; supply chain disruptions, cost inflation and order cancellations occur; companies with investments here may relocate; Malaysia may become the dumping ground for cheap products. The US cited Malaysia's halal import restrictions and bumiputra equity requirements and others as trade barriers. Other interesting ripples: Implosion is expected within PKR; Petronas-Petros dispute continues; unhappy doctors march to Putrajaya, a DAP rep reminds a politician that the nation belongs to all, not just the Malays. A MACC witness disappears on the way there. Plans to revive the direct train link from KL and Bangkok are underway, while Johor waits for Spore-JB RTS and the ETS from Gemas. Conclave Times. There will be lobbying. Yet the Holy Spirit is at work too. Going right or going left, conservative or progressive, hierarchical or Synodal — we have yet to see. The prayers everywhere are for continuity and building upon the legacy of Pope Francis. Note the four absolute conditions highlighted by Cardinal Camillo Ruini, for the good and future of the Church — a good and charitable Church, doctrinally secure, governed according to the rule of law, and deeply united internally. The Cardinals had also reflected on the hermeneutic of continuity between the pontificates of St John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. There is a call on re-visiting the role of the Eucharist, the Church's evangelising mission, scandals, liturgy, and canon law. As you read this article, we may already have our new pope. A Thought For The Week: ABQO. An employee, 'A', asked his manager for his task of the day. The manager asked him to cross a river. 'A' completed the task successfully and reported back. The manager said, 'Good job.' The next day, Employee 'B' received the same task. While crossing the river, 'B' noticed Employee 'C' struggling with the same task. He helped 'C' across and then reported back. The manager said, 'Very good job.' On the third day, Employee 'Q' received the same task but did some research beforehand. He consulted 'A', 'B', and 'C', documented the process, identified common mistakes, and created a guide for future reference. He then completed the task and presented the documentation to the manager, who said, 'Excellent job.' Finally, Employee 'O' was assigned the task. After reviewing 'Q's' guide, he realised the company was wasting resources on this repetitive task. Instead of crossing the river, he designed and implemented a bridge, eliminating the need for future crossings. The manager said, 'Outstanding job.' Lesson from ABQO: A: Completed the task as expected. B: Completed the task and helped a colleague, demonstrating teamwork. Q: Created a knowledge base to improve efficiency, showing leadership and foresight. O: Innovated by solving the root problem, adding long-term value to the company. While doing what is expected brings satisfaction, going above and beyond — through helping others, creating resources, or solving underlying issues — leads to outstanding success. Initiative and out-of-the-box thinking are the keys to lasting impact. Something's Happening Near You: 1. The diocese prepares for the Training of Trainers Programme on Synodality, the changes that are expected, the conversions needed, the spirituality required to sustain this new Pentecost. Ignorance is not bliss. 2. The PSO MJD will be conducting a Safeguarding of Minors Workshop on July 5 (9.00am - 1.00pm) at Majodi Centre for Tamil-speaking parents, youth leaders and catechists. QnQ! Q asks? 'The voice that says 'You can't', where is it coming from?' 1. The voice that says 'You can't' isn't yours. it's your paradigm. (A paradigm is a group of habits and a habit is an idea that has been fixed in your unconscious mind through repetition.) 2. Your conscious mind has the power to reject ideas. But your subconscious mind doesn't — it accepts whatever you feed it over and over. That's why repetition is so powerful. Every time you impress a new belief or image on your subconscious mind, you're building a new paradigm. One that aligns with who you want to become. 3. But don't be surprised when the old paradigm resists. It'll whisper things like: 'Who do you think you are? You've never done that before. You don't have what it takes.' That's not your truth — that's your programming. 4. You can override it. You can rewire it. But it takes awareness, repetition, and belief. 5. Keep feeding your mind the truth about your potential — and you'll create the life you want.' - Bob Proctor. (Shift and repeat, that's the 'magic'.) The Holy Spirit @work: 'And He departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here.' St Augustine Something To Tickle You: 'Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.' Michael Jordan Bishop Bernard Paul

‘Refrain from acting on Petronas-Petros dispute'
PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on all parties to refrain from taking any action or making statements until further discussions are held with the Sarawak government regarding the ongoing licensing dispute between Petronas and Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros). He said the federal government and the Sarawak government would engage in further discussions to finalise the Petronas-Petros arrangement once Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Abang Openg returns from his official visit to London. 'I had the opportunity to speak with Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari yesterday regarding Petronas-Petros arrangements based on the principles previously agreed upon,' Anwar said in a post on his Facebook page yesterday. 'I'm highly confident that the issue can be resolved with wisdom and by staying firmly within the bounds of healthy and meaningful discourse, Insya-Allah.' Anwar's comments came after Petronas confirmed that its subsidiary, Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB), received a notice on April 30 from the Sarawak Utility and Telecommunications Ministry concerning gas processing and distribution. It was reported on May 2 that Sarawak had issued a legal notice to PCSB for allegedly operating without a permit at its Miri Crude Oil Terminal. PCSB was given 21 days in the notice dated April 30 to obtain the necessary licence, failing which it could face financial penalties under Section 21A of the Distribution of Gas Ordinance (DGO) 2016. It was also reported that PCSB, which functions as the upstream subsidiary of Petronas, is accused of violating Section 7(e) of the DGO 2016. This provision mandates that a licence be obtained for constructing, managing or maintaining gas pipelines and related infrastructure. The DGO, which took effect on July 1, 2018, designated Petros as the state's regulator and sole gas aggregator. This was part of Sarawak's broader initiative to assert greater control over its natural resources. Petronas failed to obtain an injunction in a Kuching High Court to halt the suit filed by state-owned Petros to stop the court from hearing the suit on gas payments. The national oil firm told Bernama that Petronas Carigali is statutorily authorised under the Petroleum Development Act 1974 to undertake the company's activities and comply with all applicable laws in doing so. Abang Johari was quoted by the Sarawak Public Communications Unit as saying that discussions are moving forward based on a win-win approach for both Sarawak and Petronas. 'In this oil and gas matter, we've been tactfully 'playing ball' with Petronas for a while now.' He said Anwar had contacted him and both of them agreed to move forward with a fair and sincere approach. He added that Sarawak had fulfilled its responsibilities despite not receiving additional revenue. 'This solution will be based on mutual goodwill and the belief that the nation's oil and gas wealth should be shared fairly.'

[UPDATED] Anwar urges restraint on Petronas-Petros issue, pending talks with Sarawak
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged all quarters to refrain from any action or making public statements regarding the Petronas-Petros issue until further discussions are held with the Sarawak government. Anwar said he had spoken to Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg yesterday, adding that both sides would resume discussions once the premier returns from his official visit to London, United Kingdom. "I had the opportunity to speak with the Sarawak premier yesterday regarding the Petronas-Petros matter, based on the principles previously agreed upon. "Upon the Premier's return from his official visit to London, United Kingdom, we will immediately hold further discussions to finalise the matter. "In the meantime, in the interest of all parties, any action or public statements should be withheld," he said in a post on Facebook. Anwar added that he remained optimistic that the matter could be resolved amicably. "I remain highly confident that this issue can be resolved with wisdom and by staying firmly within the bounds of healthy and meaningful discourse, God willing," he said. Earlier, Abang Johari said he was "playing ball" with Petronas amid the ongoing dispute over natural gas in the state. This comes after an escalation of dispute between the two companies where Petronas confirmed it had received a legal notice from the Sarawak government, stating that its exploration arm, Petronas Carigali, was operating illegally in Sarawak and had violated Section 7(e) of the Sarawak Distribution of Gas Ordinance 2016. Petronas Carigali has been given 21 days to obtain the necessary licence, failing which could lead to financial penalties under Section 21A of the ordinance. Last Monday, Petronas failed to obtain an injunction in a Kuching high court to halt the suit filed by the state-owned petroleum company Petros to stop the court from hearing the suit on gas payments.
