KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 1): Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) is keeping a close watch on the unfolding political situation in Sudan amid its ongoing legal action to reclaim its rights over Petronas Complex and land in Khartoum and also to cancel arrest warrants issued against its officers there. “The legal processes to reclaim the rights over Petronas Complex and land in Khartoum and for the cancellation of the wrongful arrest warrant issued against PetroDar Operating Company officers are ongoing. Following the recent military coup in Sudan, the transitional government had reportedly issued an arrest warrant against Petronas’ country manager and other officers. Petronas said in an Oct 7 statement on its website that its rights over the land and complex in Khartoum were obtained in accordance with rightful applicable laws. As the legal process has commenced, Petronas is unable to provide further information on this matter,” it said in that statement.
