Reuters reports that natural gas supply from the Sabah Oil and Gas terminal to the Petronas LNG Complex in Bintulu was cut in January following a gas leak in the 500 km pipeline that transports gas from Kimanis in Sabah to the Bintulu plant in Sarawak for processing.
While the pipeline has been repaired, Petronas is still awaiting the necessary approval from authorities to resume operations at the pipeline.
