The establishment of Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros) has sparked a heated debate in Malaysia, with former Law Minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim expressing concerns that it could undermine Petronas' role as the sole gas aggregator in the state. Zaid refuted claims by Petros that it would not affect Petronas, stating that the function of a gas aggregator is critical to Petronas' business and any shift in power would significantly impact the national oil company's financial position. Meanwhile, Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg assured that Petros was not established to harm Petronas' interests and that Sarawak would maintain its strategic partnership with Petronas while enhancing its ability to process its own resources independently.
