And if you’re out there still wonder how significant the result to PETRONAS as Malaysia Company is : Please read below notes;

  • Petronas still and the only one company from Malaysia listed in Global Fortune 500.
  • If Petronas is coming from Australia (let say that if PETRONAS registered there), Petronas is no 1 company or the biggest company in Australia.
  • If you may think that Britain is a developed country (or kita Malaysia is a third world country) lead us in many ways, can you imagine that PETRONAS should be one of the Top 10 Biggest company there.
  • India is world most developing country together with China but none of their home company bigger than PETRONAS.
  • Singapore,  who always think that they are better than Malaysia but the biggest singaporean company is almost 200 places below PETRONAS.. hahahaaa
