In the last 2 weeks, PETRONAS was in the news for the wrong (?) reasons.
First- PETRONAS was ranked badly in a 2010 Report on Promoting Revenue Transparency in Oil & Gas companies. The report is published by Transparency International (TI) and Revenue Watch Institute (RWI). PETRONAS performed badly in all three key sections.
These are 'Reporting on Anti-Corruption Programme', 'Organizational Disclosure' and 'Country-Level Disclosure for International Operations'. PETRONAS' respective scores were 30, 38 and zero percent, compared to the average scores of 43, 65 and 16 percent. UK's BG Group, India's Oil and Natural Gas Corporation and Norway's Statoil top the three sections respectively with scores of 93, 100 and 69 percent. PETRONAS was ranked in the bottom 25 percent of the 20 international and 24 national oil companies surveyed.
Reporting on Anti-Corruption Programmes' refers to companies reporting their anti-corruption programmes according to the TI-UN Global Compact Reporting Guidance on the 10th Principle against Corruption.
Organizational Disclosure' measures reporting of a company's organizational structure, operations, partnerships and standards used for published financial accounts.
Country-level Disclosure for International Operations' refers to companies' reporting on meaningful country-level financial and technical data relating to their international operations.
What is the purpose of the Report? I think we need to look at it positively and not succumbed to a xenophobic reaction treating the Report as work of some insidious organization out to discredit Malaysia. As Malaysians concerned over the management of a national asset, we have every reason to be circumspect. PETRONAS is the biggest revenue earner for this country.
The report aims to promote accountability in resource-rich countries by improving awareness of the importance of revenue transparency of major oil and gas companies. We have to remember that Oil and gas producers generate and transfer considerable funds to national and host governments. Natural resources wealth can fuel large-scale corruption and mismanagement, if not properly managed.
Second- PETRONAS is in the news for its announcement in introducing the new commercial methodology of RSC- risk sharing Contract. What is that?
In introducing the Risk Sharing Contract, PETRONAS has this to say. It said that in not too many words. We are left to second guess what our national company means and intends.
"The RSC model strikes a balance in sharing of risks with fair returns for development and production of already discovered fields. In this arrangement, PETRONAS remains the project owner while contractors are the service provider. Upfront capital investment will be contributed by the contractors who will receive payment commencing from first production and throughout the duration of the contract," PETRONAS said.
"The new arrangement facilitates direct participation of Malaysian companies in the country's upstream oil and gas activities, in line with PETRONAS' efforts to leverage on their existing capacity while fast-tracking their capability in development and production in a structured manner," it added.
We haven't been told- how is the marginal field defined? H ow are the local players chosen? How is the foreign technology partner selected? How did we come up with a ballpark figure of RM 800 million? Who provided that figure? Why can't it assign PETRONAS Carigali for instance to partner with the Petrofac for instance?
Unless the consortium of the 3 companies in unison proposed to PETRONAS to work on the marginal fields, then I think the choice of the 3 can be defended. We can't fault the private companies for coming out with a commercially viable solution to PETRONAS when PETRONAS itself feels further work on the fields is uneconomical.
But unless PETRONAS is forthcoming with more revelation, its silence will only fuel speculation and wild guesses.
So if I were to second guess and translate it into simple language, perhaps it can be this way: "hey guys, you want to make money? Here's the deal. We want to appoint a foreign player to extract oil and gas from our marginal fields. Don't worry marginal is a misnomer- plenty of oil and gas there. But you people can share by being equity partners to these people. Just get the capital and join them. They are your technology partner. They do the work, maybe you get to supply support services and other things. PETRONAS will oversee and make sure you make money. And we will also be fulfilling our political objectives- fast tracking the capabilities of the chosen local ones."
PETRONAS has come some way from Production Sharing Contract to Risk Sharing Contract. The contractors now assume all the risks (?) and get compensated when they strike oil or gas? Will they get to recover all their set up costs? They get to share the value that's above the costs? How will the sharing be structured?
Let's study a little bit of history.
The production sharing contract (PSC) is a scheme where the resource owner contracts out the extraction and production of oil and gas to exploration companies. Basically the idea is this. The exploration companies or contractors do all the work to extract and produce oil. Hence the term produced oil. Once oil is produced, the contractor gets to recover all the costs incurred in extraction and producing the oil- this is termed as cost oil. After all the costs are deducted, you get to share the profit- hence the term profit oil. It's divided between the resource owner and contractor on an agreed basis. Usually 80% to the owner and 20% to the contractor.
This idea was first introduced in Malaysia by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah when PETRONAS was formed in 1974. The Petroleum Development Act 1974 empowers PETRONAS to be the custodian of our oil and gas reserves. It sets out to manage and operate our oil and gas reserves. It owns the oil and gas on our behalf.
Tengku Razaleigh worked hard to convince the oil majors operating in Malaysia then to accept the arrangement. The Americans were of course livid and complained to the then PM, Tun Abdul Razak. But Razak chose to stay the course with Razaleigh.
Update: I hear sound whispers that the whole cost of the project is financed by Petrofac. Haiya, cilaka, saya pun boleh bikin ini marginal field punya projek ma...

Lest I be accused again of spreading wild conpiracy theories, propagating overblown exaggerations and plain lying, this time I’m just going to present what is documented fact of BTN indoctrination, side by side with the MOE’s study guide for Interlok.
And I’m not gonna make any comment at all lest some people think that i have a bone they can pick at.
And just to clarify up front:
1. I am not against Interlok as a literary work. Everyone is entitled to their freedom of expression, and so is Abdullah Hussein.
2. I am not calling for a ban on the book, nor do I support calls for its ban.
3. I am not in support of editing the book as it is insulting to the author. Besides, if academics censored over 20% of the book as unfit for schoolchildren’s consumption, why was it selected in the first place?
4. I think protests against certain words, certain stereotypes or certain factual errors (while valid) have missed the bigger issue that Interlok may be a test case of BTN-style indoctrination targetting a younger market.
That said, here goes.
BTN Doctrine In A Nutshell
So, here’s a video of the BTN theme song that summarizes the doctrine that the BTN is tasked with instilling in young Malaysian minds. (And they spent over HALF BILLION RINGGIT over the last 10 years doing it!)
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It
Here are some eyewitness accounts of BTN’s secretive “Kenegaraan” workshops that ALL local uni students and civil servants are required to attend if they want to graduate / be confirmed / promoted.
Here is a sampling of the Ministry of Education’s summary of Interlok’s lessons to be taught to students, contrasted with the BTN doctrine found in the song Anak Kecil Main Api. (Keep in mind that Interlok is being touted as a valuable lesson on race relations in Malaysia. The individual characters are supposed to to be accurate reflections of the major races and their relationships with each other, as per the following):
Tema
Novel Interlok bertemakan integrasi tiga kaum utama di Malaysia, iaitu Melayu, Cina, dan India yang terpaksa melalui pelbagai cabaran untuk hidup bersama-sama dalam sebuah negara yang bebas dan bermaruah.
Here’s the lyrics to Anak Kecil Main Api, with English translation. Notice any similarities between that and the lessons that the Ministry wants our children to learn from Interlok?
Anak kecil main api (little children playing with fire) terbakar hatinya yang sepi (burns their own desolate hearts) air mata darah bercampur keringat (their tears and blood are mixed with sweat) bumi dipijak milik orang (but their land belongs to the others)

Do BTN doctrines have any influence on teachers and students?
I’ll make no comment but will merely point to the following.
Read HERE for the latest school racism incident, where a discipline teacher derogated some Indian students and the PTA Chairman hauled them to the police station for a marathon 10-hour interrogation session. All because they tried to return their copies of Interlok.
Again, I will make no comment but will merely state the following facts:
Interlok will be taught by teachers, who have ALL attended the BTN courses at least once. And it is compulsory for SPM students to memorise key passages and regurgitate accepted answers as per the MOE study guide in order to pass the SPM BM paper.
With apologies to Malaysiakini (I scooped this- If it offends Malaysiakini, I shall have it removed) I publish this letter which I thought was interesting.....
I say this because of the ordeal my family and I went through recently which I dare say was mostly due to some unscrupulous police officers.
Our ordeal started on Feb 9 after I was involved in a quarrel with a neighbour who happens to be friends with two plainclothes detectives from the South Klang police headquarters.
Although my quarrel was with the women in that family, one of the women's husband entered my house and assaulted me. A youth from that family also came charging with a parang which he swung towards me.
Luckily, the parang missed me but hit the pillar of my gate and subsequently left a deep mark.
I went and made a police report, and so did the neighbouring family in addition to consulting their detective friends.
That night my younger brother, who is an assistant manager with a fast food outlet, came home at about midnight and learnt what had happened. Because of this, he then stood in our compound and shouted that hitting a woman was sheer cowardice and challenged them to take him on if they had the guts.
At about 5.00am that morning one of the neighbour's detective friends came to our house with two other policemen, and said my brother was under arrest for smashing our neighbour's cars' windscreens.
They would not listen to him when he said that he had nothing to do with the alleged crime. He also asked to be allowed to go to work and open-up the restaurant before reporting to the police. They refused, and obtained a remand order the same morning for my 24-year-old brother who has never been hauled-up for anything in his entire life.
He was kept there for four days and severely beaten-up by an inspector before he was released.
My brother was punched, slapped, kicked, hit with a rubber hose and a pair handcuffs and told that he would be killed if he complained about being beaten-up. He was also called names are subjected to racial insults by the inspector.
We are also furious that one of the neighbour's detective friends had seated my brother in a room with an alleged extortionist and asked the latter to ......... More
Star reports that KITA’s CEC member Firdaus Christopher feels it was unbecoming of me, as an advocate of civil liberties, to have, in my ‘KITA or KITAR?’ post, criticised KITA’s admission of froggie Tee Beng into the party as a member.
For the avoidance of any doubt, let me state here that even as I criticised KITA in that post for admitting a froggie into their ranks, I will be the first to acknowledge and defend their legitimate and constitutional right to keep company with frogs.
Just as I will respect the right of the KITA leadership to say one thing today and quite another the day after.
As such, if my posting left Firdaus with the impression that I was disputing KITA’s right to fraternise with amphibian politicians, I trust that this post will put to rest those concerns.
I have also sent a press statement to The Star in response to Firdaus’s several statements in the news report.
I reproduce the same below.
______________________________________
In The Star article on March 5, 2011, KITA central executive committee member Firdaus Christopher said:
“Some elected representatives have clearly stated they were quitting because they had lost confidence in the leadership. Therefore it is wrong to assume that all those who quit are traitors.”
In my post, I had alluded to KITA’s Zaid Ibrahim having said on 4th March, 2010, that the excuses given by the three MPs for the reasons behind their departures were merely “made up”, Zaid having first categorically stated:
“… We have enough evidence to show that this was something that was orchestrated some months back. The approaches… the inducements… the meetings… it all happened a while ago …”
Is Firdaus now confirming that there was in fact no such evidence as claimed by Zaid in March, last year, and that Zaid had then unfairly called former PKR member and the present Nibong Tebal MP Tan Tee Beng a traitor?
Is that the case also with Zahrain Mohd Hashim (Bayan Baru) and Mohsin Fadzli Samsuri (Bagan Serai)? If so, perhaps Zaid should now do the honourable thing and publicly apologise to both Zahrain and Mohsin.
Perhaps Zaid will do just that if and when KITA admits those two into the party.
Firdaus was also quoted by The Star as saying:
”Haris’ statement was unbecoming of a leader propagating “civil liberties” …”
If Firdaus carefully studies my post, he will find that the criticism of KITA’s admitting Tee Beng into the party as a member was entirely premised on what Zaid had said of Tee Beng’s defection from PKR last year.
Surely it has not escaped Firdaus attention that MCLM was launched in October last year, following growing concerns about defections from PKR and the implications this posed to the possibility of a similar frog festival post the 13th GE if individuals like these defectors were again picked to stand. In this regard, KITA’s admission of Tee Beng as a member without any further clarification has many wondering if we have witnessed an about-turn by Zaid from his statement last year that:
“We promise that in the next round, our candidates will be better. The vetting process will be more strict and we will select only those who are truly there for the purpose of upholding justice and protecting the interests of the people — not those who have no interest in their jobs”.
Firdaus would do well to first scrutinize the statements made by his party leader prior to the latter exiting PKR to lead KITA so as to ensure that the he does not make senseless statements that only serve to embarrass his party leader.
You so "bravely" declared yourself ready to face the probe on your rule yet no one from your office has agreed to forward me the information I requested.
This list is important as we need to know exactly how much monies you had spent and where it went to. We also need to find out whether or not you had undertaken certain unilateral actions in order to save your family and treated the country and all its wealth as your personal ATM.
That's why we were overjoyed when you bravely agreed to be probed. I appointed myself as the sole judge, jury and executioner on the matter as really the Government has its hands full trying to rectify your mistakes. This will be a never ending struggle as your misrule really destroyed almost everything that had set this country apart from its surrounding neighbours.
Things like education, strong currency, FDI, justice and personal freedoms.
But alas, you once again 'said one thing but did another.'
For example I demanded to know the amount of credit exposure to your sons between 1996 - 2000. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Tun Ling Liong Sik's son was exposed to the tune of RM 1 billion. I will not be a fool and assume that the only loans your children had was a 30 year housing loan.
It is much more than that.
Why is it important you may ask?
Its to do with the current state of our national currency.
Dr Mahathir - I want to establish for once and for all, did you and your children cause the Ringgit to be devalued and thus bring on untold hardships for this generations and generations to come just so that they can buy expensive sport cars and Filipino breweries.
For the bulk of Malaysians , life is tough and was tough for a long time. They make up early, stand the jam, go to work, get home late, and have barely enough time to be with the kids after they come back from tuition before they have to sleep to face the drudgery of the next day.
Their spending is under control, their loans are very little.
They are the model society - hard working, passive, easily manipulated.
Model Society for a Dictator that is!
So thus how on earth can such a society have its currency crumble spectacularly before its eyes?
The issue to me has to do with the loans in the Banking Sector.
Thanks to you, you had successfully neutered any form of independent thought nor desire for research through the brain washing programmes conducted by BTN. You had distilled the sum total of the Malay's fear into the threat posed by the Non Malays or Jews through your racist diatribe, rather than encourage Malay's to think independently and act decisively.
I however took it upon myself to distinguish myself from the pack. In response to an extremely disgusting article by here I sat down and analyzed over 100 data files of our economic fundamentals.
This took about 2 months.
Yes I am that good.
The results are worrying, but more on that in latter pieces. Today I want to focus on the banking system in 1998 and what might have transpired but is left hidden from public eyes.
Between 1996 - 2000, the total loans given out by our banks are
Some puppy in the MarahKu blog said that the total loans was RM 60 billion. Well I never said your supporters weren't stupid.
The difference between 1996 and 2009 under Pak Lah, is under Pak Lah the household was the largest consumer of loans. Unlike the sub prime Americans, the Malaysian household is thrifty and by and large repays the loans.
In 1996, the household was not the largest loan consumer. It was business and it particular we have to investigate to see how much of those business were related to your family.
Because the issue is in 1998 - in the first part of the year 10% of our loans by value became non-performing.
We all know that with this amount of Non Performing Loans, the banking system will become insolvent.
We do not however know whether or not those loans were attributed to your children.
We do know however that you had unilaterally decided to fire your Finance Minister and adopt a closed economy policy. Our FDI dropped and the country's currency peformed poorly.
Contrary to the lies sprouted by Big Dog, FDI picked up, especially in the first year after Pak Lah took over. It crashed again this year after your son became the Deputy Minister of MITI.
So I do hope that you can furbish this data. There is no need to trouble the Government.
If your sons only had RM 100 million loans then there is nothing wrong, it is a miniscule amount.
But if the amount was something like RM 10 billion, then we have to probe further. We have to ask how much of those loans were bought out by Danaharta, what was the price paid to the banks, what was paid back to Danaharta and how much money did the Government earn or lose trading those loans.
PETALING JAYA, Mar 4: MCA president Chua Soi Lek, who was caught in early 2008 with his pants literally down (or absent), has done it again.
This time, however, he was not caught on any hidden camera indulging in a lewd act with a woman who he would later confess was not his wife but a 'female companion'.
Chua, whose intense campaign to help Barisan Nasional in the Tenang by-election last January failed to woo back Chinese support for the coalition, had also been busy spewing thinly-disguised four-letter words on his critics.
His long list of victims however clearly cut through across his original targets' genealogical lines, verbally devouring in the process their wives, parents and siblings.
These screenshots (right) can be mistaken for some teenage cyber-shouts on the micro-blogging site Twitter, but the source is none other than the former Health minister who made a political comeback to lead the second largest component party in Barisan Nasional.
It is not clear what prompted the 64-year old politician to indulge in an orgy of name calling on Twitter, although it is widely known that Chua had been a target of sexually-oriented jokes on the cyberspace ever since his sex video was widely publicised.
