KOTA KINABALU: Shell Malaysia has been summoned to a meeting with Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor to explain the reason for the unannounced closure next January of 35 retail stations in the state and Labuan.
“I am aware of the situation and will be meeting with Shell Malaysia chairman Siti Hurrairah Sulaiman to find out more about the situation and the fate of the affected retailers,” Hajiji said in a statement on Friday .
Shell Timur Sdn Bhd, which operates Shell kiosks in Sabah and Labuan, confirmed earlier on Friday it was closing several less productive retail stations to sustain the company’s performance in an ongoing review. It is also learned that Shell officials have informed the group of the closure but have yet to engage the higher rungs of the Sabah government regarding the matter.
It is uncertain how the news will affect business confidence in the state after the multinational company relocated its upstream headquarters from Kota Kinabalu to Miri on Aug 26.
