KUCHING: Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg is adamant that the state will take legal action if Petronas still refuses to pay five per cent state sales tax imposed by the Sarawak government on petroleum products.

“It was not discussed (in the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) Steering Committee). Never mind, (if) they don’t pay, we sue them lah,” he was responding to reporters asking about the MA63 steering committee which met in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
