After being hit by the 2009 global economic slowdown, Malaysia is attempting to rebound with increased creativity and innovation. Focus Reports spotlights the Malaysian oil & gas industry at this critical time, highlighting the governmental and business efforts to ensure continued economic competitivity, domestically and abroad. The Malaysia report foregrounds companies from the entire value chain as they work towards realizing the government’s vision of establishing Malaysia as a long-term, reliable and predictable energy supplier and energy partner.

Notes Focus Reports’ oil & gas specialist, Anne-Lyse Raoul: “At a moment where the entire economic world is eyeing on Asia to lead the global recovery, Malaysia is definitely a hot spot for business. With a change in the leadership of its NOC – PETRONAS – and the increasing focus on deeper waters, the Malaysian Oil & Gas industry is destined to become one of the most dynamic in the region, attracting international companies but also bringing plethora of medium size player to the next level and enabling them to compete internationally. Malaysia is looking up to Norway, determined to achieve the same result as their Scandinavian counterpart: build a strong local industry, worldwide recognised centre of expertise and distribute the oil and gas wealth to the entire population ”

The Malaysia special is introduced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Dato Yusli Mohd Yussof of Bursa Malaysia as well as the presidents of the country’s leading associations such as Datuk (Dr) A Rahim Hj Hashim, from the Malaysian Gas Association and current President of the international Gas Union, Sofyian Yahya, from the Malaysian Oil & Gas Service Council, as well as Rozali Ahmad, Presiding the Malaysian Association of Oil & Gas Engineers.
