00:00What we want to achieve is a win-win for both state and also federal.

00:08This is what Deputy Prime Minister Fadila Yusuf said in response to the ongoing discussions

00:13between Putrajaya and Sarawak over the rights to oil and gas exploration off the state's

00:18coast.

00:19Under the Petroleum Development Act 1974, Petronas is given full ownership and exclusive

00:25authority over the country's entire onshore and offshore oil and gas resources.

00:31However, Fadila, a senior leader of Gabungan Parti Sarawak, said the state's right to offshore

00:37oil and gas is premised on the Oil and Mining Ordinance 1958.

00:42He added that the state claims the right to all resources found within its continental

00:47shelf.

00:49As far as Sarawak is concerned, it's about 100 miles from the border.

00:56The Sarawak State Assembly also passed the Distribution of Gas Ordinance 2016, which

01:01allows Sarawak's state-owned oil company Petros to take over Petronas' role as the

01:06state's gas aggregator.

01:07As far as onshore, it will be given to the state of Sarawak.

01:12Offshore will still be Petronas.

01:14For the new exploration, then both parties will discuss.
