Gas Malaysia was given the lisence to be the only retriculation company in Malaysia responsible in tapping the gas from the main Transpipeline (PGU) and distribute them to Homes and Factories.
The issue here is that "Have They Done What They Are Suppose To Do?
Their website is at: http://www.gasmalaysia.com/Default.aspx?tabid=32
In their introduction about themselve they write as follows:
At Gas Malaysia, we are in the business of powering homes and businesses with innovative energy solutions that are cost-efficient and environmentally friendly.
We aim to make life easier for the people of Malaysia. By offering a variety of energy solutions, be it for cooking your favourite dishes to supplying your factory with an efficient and clean source of energy.
Presently, Gas Malaysia provides clean, efficient and uninterrupted supply of Natural Gas and Liquefied Petroleum Gas to homes, commercial businesses and industries. Our energy solutions include new power generation techniques such as cogeneration and distributed generation.
As we continue to expand, we are committed to delivering more innovative solutions to improve the lifestyle and profitability of Malaysian homes and businesses.
If you look deeper into their eyes, I believed they did not deliver what they say.
Since formation they have have only supplied to 3000 homes. If one house consist of 4 people therefore only 12,000 people benefitted from their activities so far. This is what they say on July 13 2005. Please see this newspaper cutting: http://www.gasmalaysia.com/Default.aspx?tabid=284
For the same period the total population of Malaysia was about 24 millions. See This website: http://education.yahoo.com/reference/factbook/my/popula.html
A simple arithmatic will tell us that they cover less then point 0.05 percent of the total population?
Last year they make a total profit of RM 800 Million.
The point here is where is the spirit of servicing the Malaysian public. Most of their profits are from gas supplies to SME/Factories.
They are so profit driven, they now lost direction and forgot their responsibilities towards the general public.
They become more like Petronas. Every year anouncing big Fat Profits and forgot their purpose of existence. Their main objective is to serve the Public. While making lots of profits they are supposed to provide gases to Homes and perhap NGV Vehicles?
They should at least get more houses delivered with the gases. 3000 homes are so small and it is disgraceful. They have been in operation for more then 15 years and only 3000 homes benefited from their existence. Absolutely unthinkable.
If I am their Chairman today I will make sure that Gas Malaysia will fullfill the followings:
1) By year 2020 I will have 100,000 houses with Natural Gas.
2) Every township where the gas are being tapped, will have at least one NGV Station.
3) I will set up a number of Mother stations to supply gas to both factories, isolated NGV stations and homes.
4) I will set up at least three mini LNG plants that shall be used to supply LNG as fuel to bus and lorry owners in Malaysia.
5) I will work out with local council to ensure that their town are GREEN (less pollution).
6)I am not here to make big fat profits every year but I am here to serve the Public who deserve the max from our natural resources. The gases belongs to Malaysian and they have the right to use the gas to cut their cost of fuel and reduce the air pollution.
Their failure seem to be accepted by the Government. If I am the Prime Minister, I will either caution them and remind them that their lisence is subject to renewal. If they fail to serve the Public their lisence shall not be renewed.
May be it is time where new comers can be given a similar lisence to tap the gases from the main Transpipeline.

Jasin MP who Promised to Raise Issues on Alternative Fuel !!!
There is an interesting twist by this MP from a District called Jasin, Melaka. His name is Datuk Mohd Said.
A very vocal person and have been criticizing the Custom Department in Melaka. He also have this crude SMS method of asking his enemy not to raise anything with the press. All in all he is having difficulties is getting the Custom department to assist businessmen to import products from foreign countries. He wanted them to be a bit lenient.
Whatever he is trying to do have caught the number one's (Prime Minister) attention. Both parties were asked to stop the war and to focus on other issues that are more important to the Public.
Well well well. His latest remark is interesting to NGV. Yes, Datuk Said promised to no longer raise issues related to Custom anymore and would shift his focus to other public interest issues such as "ALTERNATIVE FUEL" and rural development.
I will be filled with joy when he starts giving more attention to NGV in our Parliament.
Let us hope that he will do some research and found this Blogg site.
Yes Datuk, we need you to champion NGV utilization in Malaysia. We want to be heard in the Parliament and U can be the best channel.

More and More Malaysian Natural Gas being exploited !!!
Today's The Star (Malaysian Daily) indicated that China National Offshore Oil Corp has reached an agreement to buy LNG from Malaysia.
We can see how our Malaysian Natural Gas being exploited by other countries while we are not able to use them ourselve.
Every time when Petronas announced a new finding of a huge Gas field, these big Giants will be at Petronas doorstep. They will wipe out every single cubic meters of these findings while we Malaysia are not given any chance to enjoy the benefits.
Why can't we, the Malaysian Government, provide a sort of Quota before we sell to the foreign parties? Why cann't we use our right to insist that the gas be first given to the Malaysian to use, some we conserve and balance we sell?
Assumming that this new contract is going to need building of a new LNG plant capable of producing 10 million Metric Ton a year, why can we be given 1 million (10%). Let us use this 1 million to clear the air that we breath in. We can use in running all our Power Plants, SMEs, Generator sets, Lorries, Trucks, Buses, Trains, fisherment boats, ferries and many more.
The technology to convert these equipment are available and they are not rocket science.
I am pretty sure that this will have something to do with the recent finding of a record Gas field (F8) found off Sarawak. The announcement was made by Petronas not long ago. I predicted that this will happen and it does.
It is so sad that the attitude of our Country is to sell the best product to other people while we keep using highly polluted diesel (High Sulphur, 0.3 max) to run our lorries, buses, trains, fishing boats, factories (SME) and most generator sets.
I strongly believed that we should keep these gases for our own used or perhaps for energy conservation so that we will still have the gas for the future generation.
All these while the Government gave to much Power to Petronas to Capitalise the Country's asset for their own benefits. We need to check them and make them understand that each individual in Malaysia have some right on these Oil and Gas findings. We should revempt the way Petronas exploit the Gas and let us be given a kind of right to use these gases for our own selve thus reducing air pollution in our country. At the same time we can cut the oil subsidies to the max.
