Before Petronas took an active role in Swak beginning late 70's - early-80s, Sarawak Shell Bhd (SSB) took an active role in providing local with basic amenities. To name some, the Piasau Bridge, Old Miri Hospital, road networks at Canada Hill and Piasau, Lutong Airstrip, GCM clubs, SSB Club, Sungai Miri Ferry,were some of the tangible things SSB provide as part of its social obligation to the local.
Now Petronas too provided "Petronas-sponored gravity-feed water pipe system project.", "the Long Latei pre-school - gifts from Petronas", "Petronas CSR project of upgrading the 40-door Kenyah longhouse at Batu Gading beside the Baram River"."Petronas CSR project of providing large water tanks & another five such tanks would be delivered later". but not without vested interest.
Petronas should emulate SSB by providing many more social amenities, provided sponsor dan donations to school, mosques, churches in the state, scholarship for local as what was practised by SSB many years back.
Nevertheless thanks to Petronas for delivery goodies for the rural folks.
