00:00Former Law Minister Zayed Ibrahim said he was shocked by Sarawak Assemblyman Hamzah

00:06Brahim's claim that the state may sever ties with the unity government over disrespect

00:11allegedly shown by Petronas for Sarawak's state laws.

00:16The Assemblyman has spoken in the most startling and provocative way.

00:21We Malaysians are not accustomed to blackmail.

00:24We prefer to negotiate.

00:26On Thursday, Hamzah reportedly warned Putrajaya not to allow Petronas' pride and greed to

00:31contribute to the potential downfall of the Madani government.

00:35Zayed said negotiations between Petronas and the Sarawak government over the right to oil

00:40and gas resources in the state have raised a number of serious legal issues which need

00:45to be resolved.

00:46For this, cool heads and clever arguments must be there, not idle threats.

00:52The Sarawak Premier has been very vocal on the state's legal position recently.

00:57Now I think it's time to listen to ours as well.

01:02Petronas has recently been locked in talks as the Sarawak government seeks to make state-owned

01:06oil company Petros the sole gas aggregator in the state.

01:10Last month, Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Open claimed a deal had been concluded with Petronas.

01:16However, Petronas has disputed this, saying discussions were still ongoing.
