PETRONAS delivers; what are other GOCs doing?

I refer to the article written by Chan Kok Leong, Sharon Tan & Chua Sue-Ann, with title "Petronas the biggest contributor to government coffers" dated 19 October 2009 at the following link:

GOC = Goverment-owned Company

Should Malaysia depends heavily on PETRONAS to deliver

While PETRONAS should be allowed to continue making profits from oil and gas industries, the Government should focus on GOCs involved in other sectors by executing profitable ventures, curbing unnecessary expenditures, eliminating "non-compliances" at the highest management level and adopt best practices to ensure maximum returns.

Having PETRONAS to contribute 99.93% of dividend to the Government (based on 10% dividend), which is equivalent to RM30.00b, there's practically nothing to worry about PETRONAS' capability to deliver.

What should the Government worry about? Yes, too much dependency on PETRONAS as source of income. And, what should we do in order to get more from other sectors?

From an agricultural nation, to an industrialized nation, we are moving backward with great reliance on natural resources.

With so much hope on PETRONAS to maintain the national economic growth, anyone can say that Malaysia's economy is not that robust.

ASB Loan - Maybank

The bank officer told me that I actually served a loan of BFR-1.0% financing rate, which is higher. As the result, I terminated my 200k ASB loan that I served since 2009. The benefits thus far: 1. ASB Dividend since 2009 - amounting to 70k. 2. Cash from certificate liquidity - about 30k. In comparison to direct monthly deduction, I've earned an extra 20k! With the new financing rate for my new ASB loan (BFR-1.65%), the earning shall increase, subject to steady ASB performance for years to come. Alhamdulillah.
