DPM Fadillah: Petronas job cuts unrelated to Petros appointment as sole gas aggregator

KUCHING, June 7 — Petroliam Nasional Berhad's (Petronas) decision to cut over 5,000 jobs, along with a freeze on all promotions and recruitment until December 2026, is unrelated to the recent recognition of Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros) as Sarawak's sole gas aggregator. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof clarified this when met by reporters at the Majlis Ibadah Korban held at Masjid Darul Husni Warrahmah here today. 'No, it has nothing to do with that. It is actually due to the global situation, particularly the decline and fluctuation in oil prices,' he said. Petronas had earlier stated that its internal budgeting was based on Brent crude prices averaging between US$75 and US$80 per barrel. However, the global benchmark has since fallen and is currently hovering around US$65 per barrel. 'Even for Petronas to remain sustainable, oil prices must be above US$60 per barrel. That is why they have to re-evaluate their position,' Fadillah added. — The Borneo Post

Nissan to cut 20,000 jobs, close seven plants and freeze all post-2026 projects

Close Nissan is to cut 20,000 jobs, close seven plants and freeze all post-2026 product work as part of an expanded global cost-cutting restructure aimed at stemming heavy financial losses. Announced today (13 May), the moves build on the Japanese firm's February announcement when it said it would reduce its workforce by 9000, close three plants, and slash production by 20% (to five millions units per year). Today's new numbers include those previously announced plans, Nissan says, and comes as it confirms a £3.8 billion net loss in the 2024/25 financial year.
