KOTA KINABALU: An ex-top Sabah oil and gas official has disputed claims by state Finance Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun (pic) about the state’s petroleum development timeline, calling them “misleading” and lacking historical context.
Former Sabah Oil & Gas Development Corporation Sdn Bhd (SOGDC) chief executive officer Abdul Kadir Abdullah Damsal said it was inaccurate to suggest that Sabah’s oil and gas industry only began to evolve with the establishment of SMJ Energy (SMJE) in 2021.
