Sarawak's government has informed the federal Ministry of Economy that the proposed Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) bill should not apply to the East Malaysian state. Deputy Minister Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali stated that, as agreed between Sarawak’s Premier and the Prime Minister, Sarawak is willing to collaborate with the federal government to promote and develop the CCUS industry in accordance with state laws. This follows Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli's remarks about boundary issues related to the Continental Shelf Act 1966, Exclusive Economic Zone Act 1984, and Territorial Sea Act 2012 in the context of Malaysia's CCUS framework.
