Plea to leave some gas for Sabah
Nov 30, 2011 : STATE Culture, Tourism and Environment Minister, Datuk Masidi Manjun, urged Petronas and Federal Government to address a long standing anomaly that the bulk of all natural gas produced offshore Sabah is pumped to Bintulu, Sarawak.
Masidi made the call at the signing ceremony of the Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreement (REPPA) for the 30MW Geothermal Power Plant Project between SESB and the Tawau Green Energy Sdn Bhd (TGE), at Kimanis Ballroom, Kinabalu Hyatt Regency.
Noting the presence of prominent Sarawakians such as Tan Sir Leo Moggie, and TNB President-cum-CEO, Dato' Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh, Masidi said since the natural resource came from Sabah and that Sabah needs it bad enough, it is only right that Petronas should not sell it all to the foreigners but leave some for the State.
Masidi, who earlier hailed the arrival of a new era of green energy in Sabah, said he had to criticise the Government (Federal) from time to time even though it may not be popular, for the benefit of Sabah and for them (Federal Government and agencies ) to make the right decision.

Agree, Sabah's natural gas should be used for the benefits of Sabahans. We need these natural gas for power generating to reduce electricity shortage in the state.
BalasPadamHope that the local leaders will fight for Sabahan rights of using our own gas.
BalasPadamSabah has the right to enjoy their natural gas..
BalasPadamya. Sabah harus mendapat manfaat yang banyak daripada sumber negeri ini sendiri.
BalasPadamharus dipastikan sumber yang ada di Sabah dapat dinikmati hasilnya oleh rakyat Sabah.
BalasPadamSabah kena mendapat byk manfaat dari hasil minyak dan gas.
BalasPadamsabah berhak mendapatnya.
BalasPadamSabah sendiri memerlukan natural gas. kenapa perlu dijual kesemuanya kepada orang luar? sepatutnya Sabah tidak menghadapi maslah kekurangan minyak dan gas.
BalasPadamMakanya pemimpin Sabah kena tegas bersuara dalam hal ini. Siapa lagi yang rakyat boleh harapkan kalau bukan pemimpin negeri sendiri.
BalasPadamWhy do we have to plea to that which is owned by us / Sabah?
BalasPadamBuatlah perbincangan yang untuk masalah ini.
