KUCHING: Sarawak has not infringed on PETRONAS' rights as granted under the Petroleum Development Act 1974, says Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg.

Dismissing such claims, he said Sarawak had its own oil and gas rights under state laws, namely the Oil Mining Ordinance 1958 which preceded Malaysia's formation and had never been repealed.
