Dear Mr. Prime Minister, 

We acknowledge that Petronas is a national company. However, while it is de jure a Malaysian company, essentially, it’s a de facto Peninsular Malaysia company. Its operations, investments, economic focus, and decision-making processes suggest it functions predominantly as a Peninsular Malaysia company. Ponder on the points I am going to present.
