8544e917c0ac6691979db9afbc68f147
In signs of a growing assertiveness among Malaysia’s Borneo-based states, Sabah’s Suria Capital Holdings announced it is abandoning plans to divest Sabah Ports to MMC Corp unit MMC Ports Holding.

The group said in a stock market announcement that it is “no longer pursuing the proposed disposal of Sabah Ports”, and that the entity would remain as its wholly-owned unit.

Interests related to Sabah state own a 50% stake in Suria Capital. Sabah Ports has a 30-year concession, which began in 2004, to manage and operate eight ports in the state.

Sarawak state recently announced that it was set to assume full regulatory control over its oil and gas industry by July this year with the launch of Petroleum Sarawak (Petros).
