PN deputy chairman Hamzah Zainudin says Sarawak should negotiate directly with Petronas on commercial terms, but without undermining national unity.
KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin has called for Sarawak’s oil and gas demands to be addressed “in a spirit of unity and fairness”, saying negotiations should be approached in a manner that strengthens national cohesion rather than one that deepens divisions. “ Petronas is meant for the country. Sarawak is also part of Malaysia,” the Perikatan Nasional deputy chairman told FMT, adding that the situation calls for constructive dialogue.
Asked about Sarawak’s claim for a higher royalty payment, Hamzah said the matter could be discussed. He, however, cautioned against giving in to excessive demands, saying it could undermine national unity. “They can ask for it. But remember one thing: it’s not about the policies, it’s about the business model, so that everyone can have a fair share of the cake,” he said.
