Have Gas Malaysia Sdn Bhd Done Enought Towards NGV Utilization !!!

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.
