00:00Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has called for calm and restraint amid escalating tensions

00:07between national oil firm Petronas and Sarawak state-owned Petros over their licensing dispute.

00:13Citing the need to protect mutual interest, Anwar urged all parties to hold off any action

00:18or public statement until further discussions are held following a conversation with Sarawak

00:23Premier Abang Johari Openg yesterday. In a post on X, he said he remains confident that this

00:29issue can be resolved through prudent and meaningful discourse. This comes after Petronas confirmed

00:35that its subsidiary, Petronas Charigali Sandiran Berhad, received a notice on April 30 from the

00:40Sarawak Utility and Telecommunications Ministry concerning gas processing and distribution.

00:46In the letter, Charigali was accused of operating its Miri crude oil terminal without a state license.

00:52The state has given the company 21 days to rectify the matter, failing which it would face financial

00:57penalties under Section 21A of the state's Distribution of Gas Ordinance 2016. Petronas maintains that its

01:05operations are authorized under federal law and has expressed willingness to engage with both federal

01:10and state governments to ensure regulatory clarity. Separately, Abang Johari was quoted by the Sarawak

01:16Public Communications Unit as saying he had given Anwar his assurance of pursuing a win-win solution

01:22that ensures fair revenue distribution.
