PETROLIAM Nasional Bhd (Petronas) said yesterday the government would have to be consulted and its approval required if the company's president and chief executive officer Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Marican was offered the job of advising on the management of Iraq's oil industry.
A Petronas spokesman told Starbiz that the corporation was aware of reports in the Financial Times and The Independent of Britain which named Hassan as one of two Muslim oil executives being considered by the US administration to help manage Iraq's oil industry in the post-Saddam Hussein era.
