00:00Gabungan Party Sarawak is unlikely to sever ties with the unity government, even if the

00:07dispute over oil and gas rights in Sarawak remains unresolved, say analysts.

00:13University Malaya's Awang Azman Pawi dismissed GPS Assemblyman Hamzah Brahim's warning of

00:18a potential downfall of the unity government as merely a populist statement.

00:24Hamzah recently criticized Petronas for its push-and-pull approach in finalizing a gas

00:29distribution deal with Petroleum Sarawak Berhad and warned Putrajaya that Petronas' pride

00:35and greed could threaten the stability of the Madani government.

00:39Awang Azman said a professional official representative would not label others with terms such as

00:44proud or greedy.

00:46He said while it is natural for Sarawak to want to strengthen its oil and gas rights,

00:51it would not want to risk jeopardizing ties with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

00:56Meanwhile, Jayom Jawan of University Malaysia Sarawak said GPS is unlikely to leave the

01:01unity government even if Petronas does not budge.

01:05He said this was because the Sarawak government has been a partner of the federal government

01:09since 1963 and its representatives at the federal level lack the experience of sitting

01:14on the opposition bench.
