Sedeh apabila Ayah Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad bercakap pasal Malaysian Generosity dalam artikel mutakhirnya di Che Det.
Sedeh sebab sebagai bekas Perdana Menteri, Ayah Tun tentu merasai apa yang dirasai oleh sebilangan besar kakitangan Petronas sekarang. Ramai yang tak tahu bahawa di zaman Ayah Tun, Petronas masuk mencarigali minyak di negara luar sebagai Government To Government Joint Venture. Oleh itu kerja kerja eksplorasi dan carigali minyak mudah sebab Petronas ada support dari Kerajaan Malaysia.
Di zaman Tun Lah, Petronas terkial-kial masuk sebagai syarikat eksplorasi minyak asing. Tidak ada back up dari Kerajaan Malaysia. Akibatnya, Petronas "kalah" dalam tender dengan syarikat minyak asing yang mendapat back up sepenuhnya dari kerajaan mereka, contoh yang nyata ialah China Oil -taktik yang dipelajari dari Malaysia.
Akibatnya Petronas dikenakan banyak regulasi asing seperti perlu menyertakan sejumlah peratusan kakitangan dari negara tersebut, sedangkan China Oil, tukang masakpon dibawa dari China!
Di kala gawat politik di sesebuah negara, Petronas terpaksa bertindak proaktif menyelamatkan nyawa kakitangannya, dalam drill evakuasi seperti yang dijalankan di negara Sudan, Turkmenistan dan sebagainya. Hanya kerana reputasi Petronas gah maka Petronas dan kakitangannya terselamat dari menjadi mangsa kacau bilau keadaan politik yang tak stabil di negara tersebut. Kasihanilah syarikat minyak negara yang membawa pulangan matawang asing dan keuntungan berbillion atas operasi bahayanya di negara frontier!
Tambahan teruk lagi eksplorasi minyak di negara yang menjadi sekutu atau koloni tak rasmi Amerika Syarikat seperti Iraq dikenakan syarat membeli sejumlah 20% peralatan dan teknologi dari Amerika Syarikat!
Inilah selok belok pengurusan minyak yang perlu diketahui oleh Datuk Seri Najib. Seeloknya juga Kerajaan Malaysia memasukkan Petronas dalam semua delegasi Governement To Government di semua negara asing-balik ke zaman Ayah Tun Dr. Mahathir. Jangan lupa setiap delegasi perlukan feedback Petronas -jangan jadi pisang berbuah 2 kali dalam kes blok L dan M, di persisiran perairan Miri , Sarawak!
Baca petikan STAR hari ini , yang disertakan sebagai ulasan kepada pendedahan Che Det:-
In a statement here on Saturday, the national oil company said it had since set up a team that had begun negotiations with Brunei to work out the terms of this commercial arrangement.
"Both parties are committed to arriving at a mutually beneficial arrangement as soon as possible," it said.
Petronas said it also wished to clarify reports on the offshore exploration areas designated as Blocks L and M following the execution of the Exchange of Letters between Malaysia and Brunei on March 16, 2009.
"This exchange was a culmination of a long-standing issue between the two countries to arrive at a mutually beneficial arrangement, which allowed Petronas to enter into new production sharing contracts for both blocks.
"Petronas confirms that following the exchange of letters, the production sharing contracts covering Blocks L and M, which were awarded in 2003 to Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd and Murphy Sabah Oil Co Ltd were formally terminated on April 7 this year as these are no longer part of Malaysia.
"Blocks L and M are redesignated as Blocks CA1 and CA2 respectively," it said.
The controversy over the two blocks have arisen after former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had in a blog posting asked why the two blocks no longer belonged to Malaysia.
Dr Mahathir said the two blocks had been claimed by Malaysia based on historical facts.
In response, former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had refuted claims that he signed away Malaysia's rights over the two blocks.
Abdullah had said that he signed the agreement after the Malaysian Cabinet approved the deal on Feb 11, which stated that while sovereign rights over these two areas belonged to Brunei, it also allowed Malaysia to participate in jointly developing the areas for 40 years.
