SSRANZ and PBK Condemn Betrayal of Sarawak’s Oil & Gas Sovereignty
The so-called “Joint Declaration” between the Federal Government, PETRONAS, and the Sarawak Government is not a victory for Sarawak—it is its final surrender of Sarawak oil and gas rights.

We can see clearly through the Joint Declaration that PETRONAS is still the owner of the oil and gas of Sarawak, with PETRONAS selling oil and gas to PETROS at prices set by PETRONAS for PETROS to distribute to their respective customers.
Most people only understand one side of the Borneo conflict— Why were Australia, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand involved in this war from 1962 to 1970, supporting the formation of Malaysia and maintaining Malayan dominance? But rarely do we ask: what is the story from the other side? Why did thousands of Bornean people resist Malaysia? What were they fighting for?
After matters came out in the press yesterday, people complained to me that the distribution of cash vouchers for Gawai in the sum of RM30-00 by the GPS YBs is an insult to the Dayaks. To them, it shows that Dayaks are cheap and could be "bought" for RM30-00.
Democracy is about representation, check and balance but without any strong opposition, there is very little check and balance against government policies as it is now.
(Sibu, 10th) Senator Lau Hui Yew stated that when Malaysia was formed, there was a promise to accelerate the development of Sarawak and Sabah. However, the resources of Sarawak and Sabah have been misappropriated to help others develop, often at their own expense. (SeeHua11 May 2025)
一段被压制的抵抗历史大多数人只了解婆罗洲战争的一面. 为什么澳大利亚、英国和新西兰在1962年至1970年间卷入这场战争,支持马来西亚的成立并维护马来亚的统治。
The Petroleum Development Act 1974 (PDA74) although argued unconstitutional or an invalid Act and unless repealed, vested the ownership, rights, powers, liberties and privileges of oil in Sarawak and Sabah in the hands of PETRONAS. Since ownership of the oil and gas resources had been transferred into the hands of PETRONAS, PDA74 does not require PETRONAS to pay “royalties” but, “cash payment” as compensation for the loss of these resources to Sarawak and Sabah.
Religion is important for the upbringing of children and we wish that the state government look into this seriously. It is learned from the press that the Sarawak government has approved about RM95 million to build the first Islamic International School in the state.
A new year's dawn a sky so clear
Wishing love and joy so near
May your health be strong and bright
In every day and every night
尊敬首相先生,
我们知道,Petronas 是一家“国家公司“。然而,虽然它在法律上是一家马来西亚公司,但本质上,它是一家事实上的马来亚半岛公司。它的运营、投资、经济重点和决策过程表明,它主要作为一家马来亚半岛公司运作。仔细考虑我将要提出的观点。我愿意纠正任何不准确的信息,但我不会为提出解决这些不公平问题而道歉。
