Perikatan Nasional chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin has urged the government to urgently present a comprehensive sustainability plan for Petronas, along with a clear strategic direction for the national oil and gas industry.

The former prime minister made this call after expressing shock over reports that Petronas plans to lay off 5,000 employees - approximately 10 percent of its workforce - and voiced concern over the ongoing dispute with Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros).
