He asked if the settlement included recognition that the Petroleum Development Act 1974 and the Territorial Seas Act 2012 are now valid and applicable to Sarawak, notwithstanding the fact that they were never passed in the State Legislative Assembly. Wong, who is also Parti Sarawak Bersatu president, was responding to reports earlier today that Petronas is withdrawing its appeal in the Court of Appeal against the Kuching High Court’s ruling that Sarawak is entitled to collect sales tax on petroleum products.
A three-man bench of the Court of Appeal comprising justices Datuk Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil, Datuk Hadhariah Syed Ismail and Datuk Mohd Sofian Abd Razak struck out the appeal and cross-appeal and ordered each party to bear their own costs.
