Petronas, Sarawak, and the Petroleum Rights the Law Has Yet to Settle

Petronas has been granted leave to challenge several Sarawak petroleum laws, with a full hearing tentatively set for January 2027. The case will test the division of regulatory authority between the Federation and the Borneo states — and the legal effect of Malaysia’s founding bargains.
