THE Economy Ministry (MOE) is working closely with the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) to address legal interpretations concerning federal and state boundaries in drafting the framework for the emerging carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) industry.
Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli highlighted the significance of the AGC’s guidance, noting that the legal definitions of these boundaries are anchored in several key legislations, including the Continental Shelf Act 1966, the Exclusive Economic Zone Act 1984, and the Territorial Sea Act 2012.
The issue of boundary interpretation has been a contentious one, particularly with Sarawak.
Sarawak’s Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg recently expressed his concerns over differing interpretations between the state government and the federal authorities.
This was highlighted during the National Energy Council meeting on Aug 2, where Abang Johari stressed the importance of respecting Sarawak’s rulings and rights, especially in matters of business and trade within the state.
While the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) platform’s discussion on the different interpretation of boundaries between the federal government and the Sarawak government is ongoing, the economy ministry will keep abreast of its progress to ensure that the CCUS legislation reflects the understanding reached.
Moreover, Abang Johari has previously asserted Sarawak’s ownership of rights related to CCUS and its continental shelf.
In amendments to the Sarawak Land Code Rules 2022, he noted that CCUS activities in Sarawak are governed by state law. This assertion underscores Sarawak’s position on maintaining jurisdiction over its natural resources.
In a related development, Sabah’s Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan remarked in June that the proposed CCUS bill, expected to be tabled in Parliament later this year, might be unnecessary for Sabah and Sarawak.
He argued that the two East Malaysian states already have distinct land and forestry laws, suggesting that federal legislation might not align with their regional legal frameworks. – Aug 7, 2024
