Sarawak's claim to oil and gas on its continental shelf based on Federal Constitution, says GPS chief whip

KUCHING: Sarawak's claim to oil and gas resources in its continental shelf is based on state laws and the Federal Constitution, says Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) chief whip Datuk Ibrahim Baki.

The Satok assemblyman said the state Oil Mining Ordinance 1958, which regulates oil mining in Sarawak, had never been repealed and was still in force.
