00:00The dispute over national oil company, Petronas, and state-owned petroleum Sarawak-Berhard is partly due to envy of Sarawak's growing economic strength, says State Premier Abang Johari Openg.
00:14He said Sarawak's increased revenue and economic progress have drawn negative attention and jealousy from certain quarters.
00:21This has led some individuals whom he described as having nothing better to do to push narratives like Sarawak for Sarawakians to those who are jealous.
00:32Abang Johari said as Premier, he is committed to defending Sarawak's rights and interests.
00:39He added that Sarawak's economy has flourished with annual revenue now exceeding 15 billion ringgit.
00:45He emphasized that the state's progress should be seen as a benefit to the nation as a whole, saying that when Sarawak prospers, Malaysia prospers.
