Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim urged restraint in the dispute between Petronas and Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros) to protect mutual interests. He announced upcoming talks with Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Tun Openg, upon his return from London, to resolve the issue. The conflict involves Sarawak’s push for control over its oil and gas resources through Petros, challenging Petronas’ rights under the Petroleum Development Act 1974. Despite a 2020 agreement, unresolved issues persist. Anwar emphasized a respectful resolution aligned with Sarawak’s rights under the Malaysia Agreement 1963, highlighting the issue’s political and economic significance.
