  • O&G Industry Likely to Oil Prices: Deloitte
    Headline O&G industry likely to consolidate amid low oil prices Deloitte MediaTitle New Sarawak Tribune Date 22 Dec 2015 Color Black/white Section Business Circulation 46,471 Page No B2 Readership 164,773 Language English ArticleSize 92 cm² Journalist N/A AdValue RM 357 Frequency Daily (EM) PR Value RM 1,071 O&G industry likely to consolidate amid low oil prices: Deloitte KUALA LUMPUR: The oil and gas industry is expected to consolidate amid the pervasive low oil prices which have led to reduced investments and slower production rates, said Deloitte Malaysia. "The effect has been highlighted by mature oil fields, marginal oil fields and high cost of exploration that runs long term for potential deep water assets, which have a high break­even point. "Falling oil prices are forcing oil and gas companies to seriously review the economics or defer these capital­intensive projects," its Energy & Resources Leader Nizar Najib said in a statement. Nizar said although new refining projects in Sabah and Johor will significantly increase Malaysia's refining capabilities as part of the government's agenda to become a regional oil and gas hub by 2020, falling oil prices, consolidation in the industry and subdued domestic consumption may have a negative impact on the sector, at least in the medium term. "The cost of doing business is set to increase as most producing fields in Malaysia are moving towards maturity and production levels are projected to decline. "The increase in minimum wages in Malaysia will also add to the overall cost of operations for oil and gas companies," he said.

  • An Agenda-Setting Study of National Day Coverage in State and National Newspapers
    3L: The Southeast Asian Journal of English Language Studies – Vol 23(4): 41 – 55 http://doi.org/10.17576/3L-2017-2304-04 An Agenda-setting Study of National Day Coverage in State and National Newspapers SU HIE TING Universiti Malaysia Sarawak [email protected] ABSTRACT The paper describes an agenda-setting study of national day coverage in state and national newspapers. The specific aspects examined were the framing of the national day news in episodic or thematic terms, quotation of sources, and priming strategies. The theoretical framework of the study was the agenda-setting theory on how the salience attached to issues is influenced by the mass media. The media discourse data analyzed were 48 news articles related to national day that were published on 31 August 2016 in four newspapers. Textual analysis of the headlines and articles were conducted. The results showed that the national day articles were mainly in episodic frames, reporting particularly parades and events or competitions where the national flag is displayed. The thematic frames were mainly on the ordinary Malaysians’ experiences as well as those with links to the 1957 events. The newspapers deemed politicians as the most important source to quote for newsworthiness. The politicians played an important role in priming the readers or the Malaysians to appreciate what they have. One priming strategy was to bring up positive values on unity in diversity, patriotism and freedom which had been achieved due to the sacrifices of past Malaysians. The other priming strategy was mentioning or showing symbols of national identity, particularly the national flag and sometimes the national anthem, to invoke feelings of patriotism.

  • MEDIA MONITORING REPORT MARCH 2020 SUMMARY This
    MEDIA MONITORING REPORT MARCH 2020 SUMMARY This report aims to identify and monitor on a monthly basis instances of freedom of expression and speech concerns and violations in the Malaysian media, including arrests and investigations. Due to recent political developments on the national level as well as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which have seen the return of UMNO to federal power and a Movement Control Order (MCO) implemented nationwide, this report includes analysis on the matter as well. The monitoring sample consisted of a total of 12 online news portals across the entire country, from the Klang Valley to the east coast and both East Malaysia states. The 12 portals are: The Star Online, News Straits Times, Malaysiakini, Free Malaysia Today, Malay Mail Online, Sinar Harian, Berita Harian, Malaysian Gazette, Borneo Post, New Sarawak Tribune, Daily Express Sabah and Harakah. Monitoring work was done twice daily for five days in a row. Monitoring of TV and radio stations were not feasible due to budgetary constraints and lack of manpower. ANALYSIS The political crisis March marked the controversial return of Umno into federal power, and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) president Muhyiddin Yassin as the country's eight prime minister, replacing Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who had led the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition to Putrajaya during the May 2018 general elections. Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin during his swearing-in ceremony at the National Palace in Kuala Lumpur on March 1. Picture credit: EPA ​ Dubbed a "backdoor government" because of the way a political coup was launched to achieve this, concerns had been raised about existing plans for institutional reforms that were initiated by PH, especially with a PAS leader, Takiyuddin Hassan, as the minister of law.
