If push comes to shove, the PM in asserting his will can do the following.

  • Re-constitute the entire PETRONAS BOD.
  • The PM can also replace the PETRONAS advisor.
  • If the government is answerable on its financial management of this country, make PETRONAS answerable to parliament

It would be interesting to have PETRONAS answerable to parliament. People have been complaining that PETRONAS is not answerable to parliament. Yes, they do read what PETRONAS published in their books and publications. But nowadays people are more critical. Since PETRONAS is owned by the people through agency of the PM, it must be brought to bear for its activities in Parliament.

 

Insulated from public and political scrutiny has allowed PETRONAS to behave beyond reproach. Maybe it has also spawned a nose thumping attitude among its employees. Maybe they think themselves as the privileged few. Perhaps like one blogger suggested, they represent the epitome of Malay management success. Perhaps all those are correct.

 

It is also true that, these days we must avoid blind trust. Why should anyone accept in good faith whatever PETRONAS employees think of themselves? Many of them think the world of themselves judging from the vitriolic responses whenever doubts concerning their professionalism and hear this, their patriotism were made. They are just the same like you and I.

Better for Najis to sack that "ApaNama" as Advisor.
What a waste of good money appointing an "Used by Date"
(obsolete) person as Advisor. Maybe better to appoint
that Oh Ei Sun fellow to replace that "ApaNama".

Seriously, with Petronas at his personal whim, the PM of Malaysia too dumb in the case of some sleepy ex-PM! smilies/grin.gif

The major unwarranted bailout cases are too many to mention: Bumiputra Commerce (2x), Proton, some busted shipping line belonging to ex-PM's son, maybe even some new submarines that we maynot be aware of yet - seriously, Govt build a new spanking multi-billion base in Sepanggar for just 2 subs! (I estimate at least 5 more to be viable), a Philarharmonic Orchestra staffed by expensive foreigners and only affordable to the upper class, a Formula One that again ordinary Malaysians cannot afford to watch, etc.

Each and every PM is eyeing for Petronas. Mr. PM, what are you up to by introducing changes now? I can't help but keep thinking about your deals with foreign investors when they apply for licensing? Who along the way will make big bucks out of this ideas?

all I asked you is to explain where is our OIL MONEY..GIVEN TO HIM......

DEFEND HIM....and the reckless money spending of our country..
