YB Violet Yong, Assembly member of Pending
*Concerns Arise as Petros Niaga Gains Monopoly Power in Sarawak's LPG Gas Distribution*
Many problems will arise when Petros Niaga becomes the sole distributor of LPG Gas in Sarawak. Through the Gas Distribution (Amendment) Bill 2023 which was approved by the Sarawak State Assembly recently. PETROS NIAGA has full authority over LPG GAS distribution activities in Sarawak. According to Violet Yong- anything monopolistic will affect the market and consumers in the long run. Give an example of the monopoly power possessed by CMS cement. Making the price of cement and houses in Sarawak one of the most expensive in Malaysia. Although the Minister of Utilities and Telecommunications Sarawak Julaihi Narawi assured the price of LPG Gas will remain at RM26.60 (the federal government's subsidy control price) Petros Niaga has become so powerful that it can choose any business partner who cannot object to any PetrOs Niaga directive. In the future, PETROS niaga has the authority to raise the price of gas barrels or charge any fees if deemed necessary. What the market needs right now is open competition. Where all parties have the same rights and powers in the sale and distribution of LPG Gas in Sarawak. YB Chong Cheing Jen and I protested at the State Assembly. But GPS has almost 100% majority. The GPS government should not bring or approve such a law in Sarawak which has a negative impact on the people of Sarawak.
