Very simple. PETRONM plans to spend at least US$1.5 billion to expand capacity of its oil refinery in Malaysia.
At the AGM last week, PETRONM are said they are reviewing options on the US$1.5 billion capex, including funding with debt and equity.
3 possible options I can think of
All options are very dilutive and very risky to me. I decided to sell.
I welcome constructive comments.

Expansion in Malaysia, Philippines
Other than its greenfield project, Ang said Petron plans to earmark a spending budget of another $2 billion (P99.41 billion) to expand its plants in Bataan and Malaysia.
He said Petron plans to spend at least $1.5 billion (P74.57 billion) to expand the capacity of its oil refinery in Malaysia to 150,000 barrels a day from 88,000 barrels a day. Petron also plans to spend about $500 million (P24.86 billion) to upgrade its refinery in Bataan.
"Right now, Malaysian investment contributes about 25% of our revenue. It will only grow if we invest in the Malaysian refinery upgrade. Otherwise, it is just like buy and sell. So, the Malaysian refinery, we have to upgrade. At the moment, we are finalizing the study to do the upgrade," Ang told reporters.
He said the Malaysian market is promising, with about 25 million population, consuming around 600,000 barrels a day.
Petron acquired in 2011 Esso Malaysia's Port Dickson refinery and fuel retail network in Malaysia.

Petdagang market cap now 23.8b vs Petronm market cap 2b. I can't imagine this price. If in us or hongkong , petronm should worth more than 10b due to its more than 20% market share in Malaysia n its very attractive export figures .....stated under its recent financial statements

its way easier to raise fund with higher share prices, it should be a buy call rather than sell call.

Superbjet
I don't think one should fear because of an increased in Capex for the future expansion. Without addition Capex, PetronM today and 10 years later will remain the same. Refinery biz is like any other O&G, which requires substantial Capex
