Recent developments highlight the ongoing legal and operational tussle between Sarawak’s Petros and federal Petronas over oil and gas rights. Petros challenged Petronas’ monopoly under the 1974 Petroleum Development Act, asserting Sarawak’s rights under the 1958 Oil Mining Ordinance and its own Gas Distribution Ordinance. The Kuching High Court rejected Petronas’ bid to delay Petros’ lawsuit over a RM7.95 million gas payment dispute, with the hearing set for June 11, 2025. Meanwhile, ConocoPhillips has pulled out of a major Sarawak project amid this conflict, signaling investor concerns. This dispute underscores Sarawak’s push for greater control over its resources, backed by constitutional and state laws, despite federal resistance.

Could tariffs reshape Canada's oil export landscape? Alberta Premier Danielle Smith warns that ongoing trade tensions with the U.S. could lead Canada to diversify its oil markets, particularly to Asia and Europe. Two future scenarios are explored: one supporting U.S. energy dominance and the other pushing Alberta to seek alternative markets. Cooperation is key as uncertainty looms over tariffs. Read more about this critical issue and its potential impacts.

围观了几天关于巴以的口水舆论。发现了一个问题。

删除所有不学无术的表达，在剩下的东西中突出了一种具有很强共识的观点，即：知识分子围绕巴勒斯坦战争展开讨论的所有尝试都彻底失败了；罪魁祸首并不是知识分子，而是现代性精神本身，其主要原则是齐格蒙鲍曼所谓的 “回归部落”。
这种观点认为存在着两种互相对立的知识框架，它们之间不可能进行对话，也不可能寻求共同点，因为每一种知识框架都依赖于 “自己的事实”（"背景"/语境），与 “对手的事实” 相对立。
双方都认为 “中立事实” 根本不存在。
因此任何争论都变成了破坏被宣布为犯罪的另一种认识方式的企图。
同情某些受害者自动意味着拒绝承认其他受害者的真实性。因此语言不再是逃避暴力的途径，而是换一种手段继续战争的工具。当人们无法理解时，就只能摧毁 ……

乍看起来似乎挺像那么回事的。但这依然不对。

谈论巴勒斯坦战争的尝试之所以失败，并不是因为 “知识框架的对立”。而是……
