For the wry record: Petronas secretive flow...

DESIDERATA was a-miss on local news breaks the past 48, so he had to rely on fellow Bloggers like the hoRst@maverickysm.blogspot.com from where I must record for posterity a "small" development on the petroldollars' front. *As defined by Datuk Zakaria and son and daughter-in-law just sworn in as Klang Municipal Councillors despite all the breaches of the law they were supposed to uphold and promote. Harap pagar jaga padi? Penduduk-penduduk bandar Kelang yang dihormati, apa dah jadi, kepada yu dan padi?


Okay, back to Mave's gem~~

Petronas ballooning Profits
Petronas reports 22% rise in first-half profit



Malaysian oil-and-gas company Petroliam Nasional Bhd. on Thursday reported a 22 percent rise in net profit for the first half of its financial year.

Petronas said its net profit for the six months ended Sept. 30 climbed to RM24.66 billion from RM20.29 billion in the same period a year earlier.

Revenue rose 9.9 percent on year to RM88.85 billion.

Another bumper year and more money for Pak Lah to spent on the 9MP.

UMNO MPs and State EXCOs, cheers!!!! Malaysian commoners, nothing to cheer; nothing for you unless you are a crony.

DEsi just left his "small" thought dare, just

mave:

the lust time I wrote on Pteronas huge net profits of RM43.6billion for FYE March 2006, one or 2 UMNO/MCA/MIC / crony blogers wrote even before I copuld add an update predicting that my ER would be flooding with appeals for Govt to lower pump prices, also calling us in derisive manner "socialist"!

Well, thanks for placing this on record -- the numbers add up to my prediction that the full year's profits will touch RM50billion -- yeah, where does the Rakyat fit in in this National Oil Corporation's scheme of things?:(

PS: I'm sure my fellow countrymen and fellow bloggers like Mave and Desi have a right to demand of the national oil corporation to inform us: WHERE DOES THE OIL MONEY GO?

Back into unnamed pockets? Back to the Indian Ocean and South China Sea.
The rakyat wish to know.
Are they like one charitable Datuk making humongous donations to the less fortyunate and suffering brethren oversea like Thailand? I'm asking questions, however ridiculous some appear to be, because I can't find any Annual Financial Statement to rely on for authoritative infomration.

Mr Petronas, art thou listening, or the top floor (88th?) at the Twin Towers is immune to quietly elegant Malaysian Voices, isit?
