“Within the framework of our Constitution on our rights on land, we believe that we can work to undertake and explore more areas of collaboration between Petronas, being the agency of the federal government, and Sarawak. “I am also sure that Sarawak companies have the capabilities to collaborate with Petronas, and this means that we can expand our participation in oil and gas that will benefit all parties,” he said.

He said although the state government has the constitutional right to issue permission and licences for the exploration of oil and gas resources found in Sarawak, it definitely wants to work together with those who are involved in the oil and gas industry.
