Overview The PETRONAS Group delivered another set of record performance during the review period amidst a more complex and increasingly challenging global oil and gas industry environment. Crude oil prices remained high during the year as global demand, particularly from the transportation sector, continued to increase on the back of strong economic growth, especially in China and India. In the meantime, supply disruptions in Alaska and Nigeria, and continuing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, escalated concerns over security of supply. 0 PETRONAS ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Samarang platform, offshore Sabah, Malaysia 0 PETRONAS ANNUAL REPORT 2007 PETRONAS ANNUAL REPORT 2007 11 Stronger demand amidst heightened 21% during the year - more than previous year.

The name Khazanah nasional put together means "national treasure".

To this end, the panel said it would consult extensively with all stakeholders and invite their active participation, reported Bernama. “We will then present the recommendations to the Government through the Council (Team of Eminent Persons) with a view to reinstating the integrity of the institutions and promoting and enhancing the rule of law,” the committee said in a statement last night. The formation of the five-member committee was announced by the Team of Eminent Persons in a statement earlier yesterday. The committee noted that governance structures had been gravely undermined and that “our institutions have been prevented from functioning consistently with the laws of the country”. Working together: The IRC panel comprises (from left) Vohrah, Mah, Mohd Arshad, Dr Shad and Ambiga. “These shortcomings in the system need to be identified and addressed. “It has also become imperative to appoint persons of unquestionable https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2018/05/16/irc-to-find-flaw…em-council-shortcomings-in-govt-institutions-need-to-be-addressed/ Page 1 of 3 IRC to find flaws in system | The Star Online 30/03/2020, 2:52 PM integrity to lead these institutions,” it said.

  • Malaysia Brunei at a Glance: 2000-01
    COUNTRY REPORT Malaysia Brunei At a glance: 2000-01 OVERVIEW Political divisions in Malaysia have widened since the November 1999 general elections. The prime minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, is having little success in bolstering the moderate, progressive Islamic credentials of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the dominant party of the coalition. The deepening split in the Malay ethnic community could result in political and racial polarisation and undermine Malaysia's stability. Economic growth is slowing but also becoming more stable. Year on year GDP growth of 11.9% in the first quarter was followed by 8.8% in the second quarter. Real GDP growth will continue to be heavily dependent on private consumption and capital investment, and is forecast to reach 8.6% this year, slowing to 7.3% in 2001. Key changes from last month Political outlook • Dr Mahathir looks more likely to crack down on the increasingly popular opposition Parti Islam sa-Malaysia (PAS), a move which could easily prove counter-productive. Economic policy outlook • The budget for 2001, to be revealed towards the end of October, is likely to contain incentives to stimulate investment and consolidate the impressive economic recovery. Economic forecast • A pick-up in foreign investment applications around the middle of the year and a sharp rise in capital investment recorded in the second-quarter GDP figures suggests that our GDP growth forecast of 8.6% this year and 7.3% for 2001 may be conservative.
