PETALING JAYA: Sabah chief minister Hajiji Noor will meet Shell Malaysia to discuss the planned closure of 35 of its petrol stations in the state and Labuan early next year.
Hajiji said he was aware of the situation after Shell Timur Sdn Bhd, which operates Shell’s retail operations in Sabah and Labuan, previously confirmed that it will be closing several of its stations in East Malaysia to sustain its performance, the Borneo Post reported.
“I will be meeting with Shell Malaysia chairman Siti Hurrairah Sulaiman to find out more about the situation and the fate of the affected retailers in Sabah and Labuan,” he was quoted as saying.
The closure is said to involve 10 stations in Tawau, two in Semporna, six in Lahad Datu, 12 in Sandakan, two in Labuan, and one each in Likas, Telipok, and Kuala Penyu.
