KUCHING: Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) will be required to pay the five per cent sales tax imposed by the Sarawak government on petroleum products by the end of September.

Chairman of the state Consultative Committee on Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63) and State Legislative Assembly (DUN) Speaker Datuk Amar Mohd Asfia Awang Nassar said Petronas will have no choice but to pay the sales tax, given that the “constitution is on our side”.
