Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia—Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said Thursday that Malaysia will press on with oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea after a leaked diplomatic document showed opposition from Beijing.
Malaysia’s state-run oil firm Petronas operates oil and gas fields in the sea within its exclusive economic zone. “What we did in terms of oil exploration is certainly within our waters,” Anwar told reporters travelling with him on a visit to Russia.“We will probably respond to China in explaining our position that we have never intended to be in any way provocative, unnecessarily hostile,” Anwar said.
Philippine news portal Inquirer.net last week published what is said was a leaked diplomatic note in which China demanded Malaysia stop all oil and gas activities off Sarawak state on Borneo island.Malaysia’s foreign ministry has called for an investigation into the leak but has not denied its content.
