CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT ON
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Dear Valued Shareholders,


It is my honour and privilege to present the Corporate
Governance Overview Statement of PETRONAS Gas Berhad
(PGB or the Group) for the financial year ended
31 December 2021.

The Board of PGB is deeply committed to upholding high


standards of integrity in every aspect of our business
and good governance remains an integral component of
our business. Not only is good governance essential for
sustainable, long-term business growth, it helps to protect
our corporate reputation, safeguard stakeholder interests,
boost investor confidence, as well as ensure continued
shareholder value creation and long-term economic value.
Simply put, good governance translates into sustainable
business.

Adnan Zainol Abidin


Chairman

For the year in review, the Board continued to provide oversight on corporate governance and work closely together with
PGB’s management team. Our efforts centred on refining our corporate governance practices to align with the updated
Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2021 (MCCG 2021) issued by the Securities Commission Malaysia and the 4th edition of
the Corporate Guidance Guide issued by Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. We also worked to recompose PGB’s Board and Board
Committees to ensure more balanced and effective representation, as well as strengthened our overall governance framework.

I am pleased to report that as at the date of this Statement, we have aligned with the MCCG 2021 practice which requires the boards
of large companies to comprise a majority of independent directors to ensure an effective and objective check and balance in relation
to decision making. The roles of Independent Non-Executive Directors (INEDs) are particularly crucial in protecting the interest of
minority shareholders. In line with this, six of PGB’s 10 Board members today are INEDs. Our Board composition also exceeds the
Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad where more than one-third of board members are to be INEDs.

The MCCG 2021 practices also advocate having 30% women directors on a board and to ensure a policy on gender diversity is in
place. To this end, PGB has four women directors constituting 40% of the Board while the PGB Diversity Policy has been in place
for some time now. Our policy aims to ensure that a good mix of Board member profiles in terms of age and gender, as well as the
necessary perspectives, experiences and expertise are in place to achieve effective stewardship, create value and ensure we remain
relevant amidst the evolving business environment.
25

In May 2021, the PGB Board Risk Committee (BRC) was established as the Board saw the need to have a board committee assisting
the Board in reviewing and evaluating risk in a holistic manner. The establishment also aligns with the MCCG 2021 practice that
recommends that the majority of BRC members be independent directors. Today, the BRC continues to effectively oversee the
Group’s risk management framework and policies, our sustainability agenda, as well as our Environmental, Social and Governance
compliance.

The MCCG 2021 also recommends that a company address sustainability risks and opportunities in an integrated and strategic
manner to support its long-term success. To this end, the year saw us strengthening our sustainability practices and framework to
align with the MCCG 2021. The details of how we have complied with the recommended practices applicable for Large Companies
under the MCCG 2021 are spelt out in our standalone 2021 Corporate Governance Report which is published on our website and
submitted to Bursa Malaysia.

Over the course of 2021, the Group also implemented the following governance and risk management measures:

• In view of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, PGB’s 38th Annual General Meeting was convened on 20 April 2021 virtually.
There was good participation in the event with a total of 849 shareholders and proxies logging in through the remote
participation and voting facilities;
• To mitigate project risk, the Project Development Department and Project Directorate Department were established.
These units are tasked with shaping project development and ensuring effective project execution within the prescribed
costs and schedules whilst upholding the highest Health, Safety and Environmental standards;
• As part of our commitment towards becoming financially resilient, PGB and its subsidiaries adopted the revised
PETRONAS Financial Policy. The policy aims to ensure efficient capital and liquidity management amidst a volatile
business landscape. It also provides a consistent framework in which financial risks and the relevant strategies to mitigate
such risks;
• To better manage credit risk exposure, PGB Credit Guidelines were set in place enabling us to evaluate the credit
worthiness of customers and assign credit risk ratings to all of them; and
• In relation to the Gas and Utilities supply Business Continuity Plan, the Group performed Business Continuity Management
tests regularly to ensure preparedness and readiness in facing business disruption, as well as to ascertain the effectiveness
and robustness of our response and recovery strategies.

All in all, the measures we undertook in 2021 sought to strengthen our corporate governance framework and establish a robust
risk management process. We are confident that these initiatives will hold PGB in good stead as we venture forth into the new normal.

PGB’s commitment to ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the Group is reflected in the awards and recognition
that we continue to receive. In 2021, we were ranked 4th out of the Top 100 Companies for the Excellence Award for Corporate
Governance Disclosure, as well as ranked 1st in the Industry Excellence Award for Utilities at the MSWG-ASEAN Corporate Governance
Awards 2020 event. On top of this, PGB’s Integrated Report 2020 received a Gold award for Best Design at the National Annual
Corporate Report Awards 2021.

Last but not least, on behalf of PGB’s Board, I am delighted to welcome our new Directors, namely Datuk Mark Victor
Rozario, Mr. Sujit Singh Parhar s/o Sukhdev Singh, and Puan Hasliza Othman, all of whom joined us in 2021. We certainly look
forward to their insights and wise counsel. I also wish to convey our sincere gratitude to Puan Emeliana Dallan Rice-Oxley for
her worthy service and contributions to the Board and wish her every success in her endeavours.

In setting the appropriate measures in place and embedding sustainability in a greater measure throughout the Group, we are
confident that our efforts will go a long way in ensuring PGB’s sustainable, long-term growth. Thank you for your unwavering support
of PGB.

PRINCIPLE A: BOARD LEADERSHIP AND EFFECTIVENESS

OUR GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE


The Board embraces transparency and accountability in the boardroom and promotes these critical components of governance
throughout the Group.

PGB’s governance structure and practices are integrated across the PGB Group in creating value for all its stakeholders based on the
following principles:

• emphasising greater integrity, transparency, accountability and responsibility;

• promoting the Group’s future growth through sustainable practices aligning to the Group’s sustainability agenda; and

• balancing the autonomy of the various operating entities in the Group with the appropriate checks and balances.

The Board is accountable to shareholders to create and deliver sustainable value through oversight of the management of the
Group’s business, approving strategic plans, monitoring their implementation and providing the necessary support for their successful
execution.

The Board discharges its responsibilities within a clearly defined governance framework and robust mechanisms in place. Through
this framework, the Board, without abdicating its responsibilities, delegates its governance responsibilities to key Committees of the
Board and other Management committees. The Board retains ultimate accountability and responsibility for the performance and
affairs of the Company and ensures that the Group adheres to high standards of ethical behaviour.

Effective operation of the Board relies on clarity of the various roles and responsibilities. There is therefore a clear division of
responsibilities between the leadership of the Board and the executive leadership of the Company’s business in line with the principles
of the MCCG 2021.

The framework shows the governance oversight role of the Board, the various components of governance that facilitate the interaction
and flow between them. The table below describes Group’s governance structure, an overview of the key Committees of the Board
and other Management committees.

imperative to protect the interest of minority shareholders.

The Directors are selected based on their individual merits and experience. The current Board composition comprises individuals
of diverse backgrounds with expertise and skills amongst others in the oil and gas industry, power and new energy sector, legal and

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
OVERVIEW STATEMENT

Separate roles of Chairman, MD/CEO and Senior Independent Director


The positions of Chairman and MD/CEO are held separately to ensure a clear distinction of responsibilities between Chairman and
the MD/CEO.

The Chairman is primarily responsible for the stewardship and smooth functioning of the Board, whilst the MD/CEO is responsible
for the overall operations of the business, organisational effectiveness and the implementation of the Group’s strategies and policies.
Given the Company’s business integration and synergy with PETRONAS, the Chairmanship of the Company remains with a NINED.
The separation of roles is imperative as both roles have different expectations and serve distinct primary audiences.

The MD/CEO manages the respective responsibilities of the divisions and departments in the Company. He is assisted by the LT who
ensures effective systems, controls and resources are in place to execute business strategies and decisions.

Board Committees
As part of its efforts to ensure the effective discharge of its duties, the Board has delegated certain functions to certain Committees
with their own TOR. On 25 May 2021, the Board approved the formation of the BRC in line with the MCCG 2021’s Step Up
Practice 10.3. Pursuant to the establishment of the BRC, the BAC’s functions on risk management were undertaken by the BRC.

The Chairman of all Committees will report to the Board on the decision or outcome of the Committee meetings. The reports of the
BAC, NRC and BRC are set out on pages 56 to 85 of the GFR 2021.

In addition to the above meetings, the PGB Board Strategic Conversation was held on 4 August 2021 which was also attended by
the LT to provide updates and discuss on the external environment and market outlook and deliberate on the Group’s strategic and
growth plans.

Supply and Access to Information


Prior to each Board meeting, the agenda and Board papers encompassing comprehensive qualitative and quantitative information
relevant to the business of the meeting are circulated to all Directors not less than five business days of the meeting dates. This enables
the Directors to have sufficient time to peruse the Board papers and seek clarifications or further details from the Management or the
Company Secretary before each meeting to ensure preparedness for the meeting. Any Director may request matters to be included in
the agenda. Urgent papers may be presented and tabled at meetings under the item “Any Other Business”, subject to the approval of
both the MD/CEO and Chairman. The content of the Board papers prepared are comprehensive and include objectives, background,
critical issues, implications, risks, strategic fit, recommendations and other pertinent information to enable informed decision-making
by the Board.

Presentations and briefings by Management and relevant external consultants, where applicable, are also held at Board meetings to
furnish clarification to assist the Board in making a decision.

The Directors can access the Board papers online through a secured collaborative software which allows the Directors to securely
access, to read and review Board documents and collaborate with other Directors and the Company Secretary electronically.
This software eases the process of distribution of meeting papers and minimises leakage of sensitive information. The online
accessibility facilitates the Directors to read and review the documents or communicate with other Board members at anytime.

The Directors have direct access to the Management and have unrestricted access to any information relating to the Group to
enable them to discharge their duties. The Directors also have direct access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary
and are regularly updated on new statutory and regulatory requirements relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Directors.
The Directors, whether collectively as a Board or in their individual capacity, may seek independent professional advice at PGB’s
expense in furtherance of their duties.

Board Effectiveness Evaluation


The Board Effectiveness Evaluation (BEE) is to evaluate the performance of Board/Board Committees/Members of the Board
as well as identifying any gaps or areas of improvement, where required. Every year, under the purview of the NRC, a formal evaluation
is undertaken to assess the effectiveness of the following:

(a) The Board as a whole and the Board Committees

(b) Contribution of each individual Director

(c) Independence of Independent Directors

During the year under review, the BEE was conducted internally through a digital platform, focusing on maximising the effectiveness
and performance of the Board and its Committees in the best interests of the Company. The Board will be engaging the services of
an external consultant to perform the BEE exercise once every three years. The Board takes cognisance that the external evaluation
is intended to provide more objectivity that could at times be lacking when carrying out the process internally.

Board and Board Committees Effectiveness Evaluation 2021


During the year under review, the Board was satisfied that the Board members discharged their functions, duties and responsibilities
in accordance with its Board Charter. The results of the Board Effectiveness Evaluation 2021 were presented to the Board in
February 2022 where the Board noted the findings and areas that necessitated further improvements.

Directors’ Remuneration
Directors’ fee, which is aligned to PGB’s strategic objectives, allows the Board to attract, motivate and retain high calibre talents.
The design of the fees architecture complies with regulatory requirements, embraces market practices and trends, and provides
attractive and balanced rewards.

The Board has established a formal and transparent Directors’ Remuneration Framework which comprises retainer fees, meeting
allowance and benefits in-kind. In compliance with Section 230(1) of the CA 2016, the resolution on the payment of the following
Directors’ fees from the 38th AGM until the forthcoming AGM was tabled for shareholders’ approval:

Meeting Allowance per attendance


Monthly fee Board BAC NRC BRC
Chairman RM24,000 RM3,500 RM3,500 RM3,500 RM3,500
Member RM12,000 RM3,500 RM3,500 RM3,500 RM3,500

Note: Malaysian Resident INEDs are entitled to fuel allowance of RM6,000 per annum

The fees and allowances for NEDs will remain until further review by the Board and are subject to the approval of the shareholders
of PGB. PGB noted on the departure from the Guidance 7.2 of MCCG 2021 as the Company does not have any plan to table separate
resolutions on the approval of the fees of each NED and may explore ways to meet the intended outcome in future.

The Directors’ fees and meeting allowances for NINEDs who are also employees of PETRONAS are paid directly to PETRONAS.
The Company also reimburses all expenses incurred by the Directors, where relevant, in the course of carrying out their duties as

CRISIS MANAGEMENT
The Group crisis management framework and practices are in adherence to the PETRONAS Crisis Management framework which
provides the foundation for consistent and effective crisis response. The Group has in place contingency planning that defines the
structure and processes for managing emergencies and crisis at operational and company level. There is a three-tiered response
system in place as outlined based on severity of the crisis which provides clear demarcation of response control and required
capability of emergency or crisis team members in order to protect and save people, environment, asset and reputation. In the event
of business disruptions during crisis events, Business Continuity Plan (BCP) will be activated to ensure business continuity.

PGB Pandemic Preparedness Response Guideline which was established in 2020 continues to be in place to:

• provide guidance to strategise preparedness and response to minimise the risk imposed by COVID-19 outbreak;
• align the action plans as stipulated by PETRONAS Pandemic Preparedness and Response Team; and
• reduce the impact on the Company’s business activities by safeguarding its people, environment, assets and reputation.

Daily monitoring is conducted where critical operational information, including on staff and contractors, is shared with Management
and key personnel. Recovery management continues to be in place through PGB barrier management and is reviewed in line with
developments of the outbreak, to ensure zero operations and business disruption. Additionally, employees’ vaccination rate was also

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) prioritises the Group’s key business functions and spells out the timeframe to resume each function
in the event of disruptions. It is periodically reviewed and updated with the objective to identify criticality of business functions and
determine resource requirements to be allocated for recovery and resumption.

The Group has put in place the Gas and Utilities supply Business Continuity Plan (BCP) which adopts a three-tiered approach in
escalating response which will assist the Group in effectively responding and managing gas and utilities supply disruption. The Group
has also formulated BCP in responding to the inaccessibility of PETRONAS Twin Towers where its Head Office operates, to resume its
Head Office’s critical functions be it virtually or at established alternate worksite.

RMU provides guidance and reference to ensure compliance to the Group’s BCM requirements including capability building whereby
assurance and continuous awareness programmes are in place, as part of the overall BCM continual improvement.

During the year under review, the Group performed BCM testing and exercise in December 2021 to ensure preparedness and readiness
in facing business disruption, as well as to ascertain effectiveness and robustness of respond and recovery strategies. From the testing
and exercise, findings and gaps were registered for further improvement.

records of the Group and of the Company, had been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

(i) that would render the amount written off for bad debts, or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts, in the Group and in
the Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or

(ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company
misleading, or

(iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the
Company misleading or inappropriate, or

(iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements, that would render any amount stated in the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.

is as follows:

Tower 1, PETRONAS Twin Towers,

50088 Kuala Lumpur

The Company is principally engaged in separating natural gas into its components and storing, transporting and distributing

in Malaysia.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 comprises the
Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interests in joint ventures and an associate.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
1.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Malaysian
Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”), International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the
Companies Act, 2016 in Malaysia.

These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Requirements of

As of 1 January 2021, the Group and the Company have adopted amendments to MFRSs (“pronouncements”) that
have been issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) as described fully in Note 31 to the financial
statements.

and revised pronouncements which are not yet effective that are not relevant to the operation of the Group and of the

PETRONAS Gas Berhad Responsible Financial
128 Governance and Financial Report 2021 Governance Statements

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31 December 2021

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)


1.2 Basis of measurement
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared on historical cost basis except for certain
items are measured at fair value, as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

1.3 Functional and presentation currency


The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are prepared using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Group’s and the Company’s financial statements
are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional currency.

1.4 Use of estimates and judgments


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described in the
following Notes:

(i) Note 3 : Property, Plant and Equipment;


(ii) Note 9 : Deferred Tax;
(iii) Note 17 : Provisions;
(iv) Note 23 : Tax Expense; and
(v) Note 29 : Financial Instruments.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements and
have been applied consistently by the Group and the Company, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of consolidation


Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Company. The Group controls an entity when it is
exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the entity. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing control only when such rights are
substantive. The Group considers it has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having the majority of voting
rights, it has the current ability to direct the activities of the investee that significantly affect the investee’s return.
129

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


2.1 Basis of consolidation (continued)
Subsidiaries (continued)

Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Company’s statement of financial position at cost less any impairment
losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investment includes transaction costs.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group from the date
that control commences until the date that control ceases.

All inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation and revenue and profits relate to external transactions
only. Unrealised losses resulting from inter-company transactions are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered.

Business combinations
A business combination is a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date, which is the date on
which control is transferred to the Group. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair
values at the acquisition date. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration
transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. Non-controlling interests are stated either at
fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held non-controlling equity
interest in the acquiree at fair value at the acquisition date, with any resulting gain or loss recognised in the profit or loss.
Increase in the Group’s ownership interest in an existing subsidiary is accounted for as equity transactions with differences
between the fair value of consideration paid and the Group’s proportionate share of net assets acquired, recognised
directly in equity.

The Group measures goodwill as the excess of the cost of an acquisition and the fair values of any previously held interest
in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in
connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that
controls the Group are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period
presented, or, if later, at the date that common control was established; for this purpose, comparatives are restated. The
assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at the carrying amounts recognised previously in the Group controlling
shareholder’s consolidated financial statements. The components of equity of the acquired entities are added to the same
components within Group equity and any resulting gain or loss is recognised directly in equity.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31 December 2021

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


2.1 Basis of consolidation (continued)
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable
to equity interests that are not owned by the Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, are presented
in the consolidated statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from
equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company.

Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group are presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between
the non-controlling interests and shareholders of the Company.

Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if
doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

The Group treats all changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control as equity
transactions between the Group and its non-controlling interest holders. Any difference between the Group’s share of net
assets before and after the change, and any consideration received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserves.

Loss of control
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiary, any
non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the former subsidiary from the consolidated
statement of financial position. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the
Group retains any interest in the former subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is
lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as a fair value through other comprehensive
income financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.

2.2 Associate
An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence including representation on the Board of Directors,
but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies of the investee company.

Associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method less any impairment losses,
unless it is classified as held for sale or distribution. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of
post-acquisition profits or losses and other comprehensive income of the equity-accounted associates, after adjustments
to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the
date that significant influence ceases.
131

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


2.2 Associate (continued)
The Group’s share of post-acquisition reserves and retained profits less losses is added to the carrying value of the
investment in the consolidated statement of financial position. These amounts are taken from the latest audited financial
statements or management financial statements of the associate.

When the Group’s share of post-acquisition losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted associate, the carrying
amount of that interest (including any long-term investments such as loans and advances) is reduced to nil and the
recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments
on behalf of the associate.

When the Group ceases to have significant influence over an associate, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire
interest in that associate, with the resulting gain or loss being recognised in the profit or loss. Any retained interest in the
former associate at the date when significant influence is lost is measured at fair value and this amount is regarded as the
initial carrying amount of a financial asset.

When the Group’s interest in an associate decreases but does not result in loss of significant influence, any retained
interest is not re-measured. Any gain or loss arising from the decrease in interest is recognised in profit or loss. Any gains
or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are also reclassified proportionately to the profit or loss
if that gain or loss would be required to be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets and liabilities.

Unrealised profits arising from transactions between the Group and its associate are eliminated to the extent of the
Group’s interests in the associate. Unrealised losses on such transactions are also eliminated partially, unless cost cannot
be recovered.

2.3 Joint arrangements


Joint arrangements are arrangements of which the Group has joint control, established by contracts requiring unanimous
consent for decisions about the activities that significantly affect the arrangements’ returns.

Joint arrangements are classified as either joint operation or joint venture. A joint arrangement is classified as joint operation
when the Group or the Company has rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to an arrangement.
The Group and the Company account for each of its share of the assets, liabilities and transactions, including its share of
those held or incurred jointly with the other investors, in relation to the joint operation. A joint arrangement is classified
as joint venture when the Group has rights only to the net assets of the arrangements. The Group accounts for its interest
in the joint venture using the equity method as described in Note 2.2.

2.4 Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
Recognition and measurement

Freehold land and projects-in-progress are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses and are not depreciated.
Other property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets and any other costs directly
attributable to bringing the assets to working condition for their intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing
the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of self-constructed assets also includes the cost of
material and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy
on borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part
of that equipment.

When significant components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted
for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount
of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Group
or the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced item of property, plant and
equipment is derecognised with any corresponding gain or loss recognised in the profit or loss accordingly. The costs of
the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation

Depreciation for property, plant and equipment other than freehold land and projects-in-progress, is recognised in profit
or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and
equipment. Property, plant and equipment are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.

Buildings are depreciated over 50 years or over the remaining land lease period, whichever is shorter.

The estimated useful lives of the other property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are as follows:

Plant and pipelines 5 - 55 years


Storage units 20 - 25 years
Plant turnaround/major inspection 3-6 years
Office equipment, furniture and fittings 6-7 years
Other plant and equipment 3 - 20 years
Computer software and hardware 5 years
Motor vehicles 4 years
133

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


2.4 Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (continued)
Depreciation (continued)

The depreciable amount is determined after deducting residual value. The residual value, useful life and depreciation
method are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure that the amount, period and method of depreciation are
consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied
in the items of property, plant and equipment.

Right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the
earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease term.

Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the net carrying amount
is recognised in the profit or loss.

2.5 Leases
(i) Definition of a lease

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period
of time in exchange for a consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset, the Group and the Company assess whether:

• the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be
physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has
a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
• the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout
the period of use; and
• the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset when it has the decision-making rights that are most
relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. The customer has the right to direct the use
of the asset if either the customer has the right to operate the asset; or the customer designed the asset in a
way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group and the Company
allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative
stand-alone prices.

2.5 Leases (continued)
(ii) Recognition and initial measurement

(a) As a lessee

The Group and the Company recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement
date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs
incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying
asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily
determined, the respective Group entities’ incremental borrowing rate is used. Generally, the Group entities
use their incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

• fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;


• variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at
the commencement date;
• amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
• the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group and the Company are reasonably certain to
exercise; and
• penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group and the Company are reasonably certain not
to early terminate the contract.

The Group and the Company exclude variable lease payments that are linked to future performance or usage
of the underlying asset from the lease liability. Instead, these payments are recognised in profit or loss in the
period in which the performance or use occurs.

The Group and the Company assess at lease commencement whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the
extension options in determining the lease term.

The Group and the Company have elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for
short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group and
the Company recognise the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.

The Group and the Company present right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property
in ‘property, plant and equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘borrowings’ in the statement of financial position.

2.5 Leases (continued)
(ii) Recognition and initial measurement (continued)

(b)
As a lessor

When the Group and the Company act as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a
finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Group and the Company make an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers
substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then
the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group and the Company apply
MFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to allocate the consideration in the contract based on the
stand-alone selling price.

Where applicable, for finance lease, the Group and the Company recognise assets held under a finance lease in
its statement of financial position and presents them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in
the lease. The Group and the Company use the interest rate implicit in the lease to measure the net investment
in the lease.

(iii)
Subsequent measurement

(a) As a lessee

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement
date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.
The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property,
plant and equipment. Depreciation of certain right-of-use assets are subsequently capitalised into carrying
amount of other assets whenever they meet the criteria for capitalisation. In addition, the right-of-use asset is
periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method (see Note 2.7(vi)).
It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate,
if there is a revision of in-substance fixed lease payments, or if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of
the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment
of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. The Group will reassess whether it is
reasonably certain to exercise the extension option if there is a significant change in circumstances within
its control.

When the lease liability is remeasured as described in the above paragraph, a corresponding adjustment is
made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of
the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

(iii) Subsequent measurement (continued)

(a) As a lessee (continued)

When there is lease modification due to increase in the scope of lease by adding the right-to-use one or more
underlying assets, the Group and the Company assess whether the lease modification shall be accounted for
as a separate lease or similar to reassessment of lease liability. The Group and the Company account for lease
modification as a separate lease when the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate
with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments.

When there is lease modification due to decrease in scope, the Group and the Company decrease the
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and remeasure the lease liability to reflect the partial or full
termination of the lease. The corresponding gain or loss shall be recognised in profit or loss. Lease liabilities
are remeasured for all other lease modifications with corresponding adjustments to the right-of-use asset.

(b)
As a lessor

The Group and the Company recognise lease payments received under operating leases as income on a
straight-line basis over the lease term as part of “revenue”.

The Group and the Company recognise finance income over the lease term, based on a pattern reflecting a
constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s and the Company’s net investment in the lease. The Group
and the Company aim to allocate finance income over the lease term on a systematic and rational basis.
The Group and the Company apply the lease payments relating to the period against the gross investment in
the lease to reduce both the principal and the unearned finance income. The net investment in the lease is
subject to impairment requirements in MFRS 9 Financial Instruments (see Note 2.8).

2.6 Investments
Long-term investments in subsidiaries, associate and joint ventures are stated at cost less impairment loss, if any, in the
Company’s financial statements unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investments
includes transaction costs.

The carrying amount of these investments includes fair value adjustments on shareholder’s loans and advances
(see Note 2.7).

2.7 Financial instruments


Recognition and initial measurement

A financial instrument is recognised in the statement of financial statement position when, and only when, the Group or
the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Regular way purchases or sales are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Group and the Company commit to
purchase or sell the financial asset.
137

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


2.7 Financial instruments (continued)
Recognition and initial measurement (continued)

A financial asset (unless it is a receivable without a significant financing component) and a financial liability is measured at
fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable
transaction cost incurred at the acquisition or issuance of the financial instrument. A trade receivable that does not
contain a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

Fair value adjustments on shareholder’s loans and advances at initial recognition, if any, are added to the carrying value of
investments in the Company’s financial statements.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Interest rate benchmark reform

The Group and the Company will apply the practical expedients provided in the amendments to MFRS 9 Financial
Instruments, MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, MFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures,
MFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and MFRS 16 Leases (Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2) in future periods if they
become applicable.

As of 31 December 2021, the Group and the Company have had no transactions for which the benchmark rate had
been replaced with an alternative benchmark rate and therefore have not yet applied the practical expedients
provided in the amendments.

(i) Financial assets

Financial assets are classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”),
as appropriate.

The Group and the Company determine the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The financial
assets are not subsequently reclassified unless the Group and the Company change their business model for
managing financial assets in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first
reporting period following the change of the business model.

a) Amortised cost

Amortised cost category comprises financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to
hold assets to collect contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The financial assets are
not designated as fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method (see Note 2.7(vi)). Interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in
profit or loss.

Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)

(i) Financial assets (continued)

b) Fair value through profit or loss

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost as described above are measured at fair
value through profit or loss. This includes derivative financial assets (except for a derivative that is a financial
guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument as per Note 2.7(iii)). On initial recognition,
the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured
at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as at fair value through profit or loss if
doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Subsequent measurement

Financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair value
with gains or losses recognised in the profit or loss. The methods used to measure fair value are stated in
Note 2.23.

(ii)
Financial liabilities

The categories of financial liabilities at initial recognition are as follows:

a) Amortised cost

Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method (see Note 2.7(vi)).

Gains and losses are recognised in the profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the
amortisation process.

b) Fair value through profit or loss

Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are derivatives (except for a
derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument), contingent
consideration in a business combination and financial liabilities that are specifically designated into this
category upon initial recognition.

On initial recognition, the Group or the Company may irrevocably designate a financial liability that otherwise
meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost as at fair value through profit or loss:

• if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise;
• a group of financial liabilities or financial assets and financial liabilities is managed and its performance is
evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy,
and information about the Group is provided internally on that basis to the Group’s key management
personnel; or
• if a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives and the host is not a financial asset in the scope of
MFRS 9, where the embedded derivative significantly modifies the cash flows and separation is not prohibited.

Financial liabilities categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair value
with gains or losses, including any interest expenses are recognised in the profit or loss.

For financial liabilities where it is designated as fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition,
the Group and the Company recognise the amount of change in fair value of the financial liability that is
attributable to change in credit risk in the other comprehensive income and remaining amount of the change
in fair value in the profit or loss, unless the treatment of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk
would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch.

(iii)
Hedge accounting

Cash flow hedge

A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk
associated with all, or a component of, a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and
could affect the profit or loss.

In a cash flow hedge, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective
hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity and the ineffective portion is
recognised in profit or loss. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument that is
recognised in other comprehensive income is limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item,
determined on a present value basis, from inception of the hedge.

When the hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial item such as
inventory, the amount accumulated in the hedging reserve and the cost of hedging reserve is included directly in the
initial cost of the non-financial item when it is recognised. This is not a reclassification adjustment and will not be
recognised in OCI for the period. This also applies where the hedged forecast transaction of a non-financial asset or
non-financial liability subsequently becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied.

For all other hedged forecast transactions, the amount accumulated in the hedging reserve and the cost of hedging
reserve is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash
flows affect profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.

If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the hedging instrument expires or is sold,
terminated or exercised, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When hedge accounting for cash
flow hedges is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in the hedging reserve remains in equity if
the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur. Otherwise, the amount will be immediately reclassified to
profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. After discontinuation, once the hedged cash flow occurs, any amount
remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income must be accounted for depending on the nature of the
underlying transaction as described above.

Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)

(iv) Derivative financial instruments

The Group and the Company use derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and forward currency
contracts to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is
entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair
value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains and losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives during the year, other than those accounted
for under hedge accounting as described in Note 2.7(iii), are recognised in profit or loss.

In general, contracts to sell or purchase non-financial items to meet expected own use requirements are not
accounted for as financial instruments. However, contracts to sell or purchase commodities that can be net settled
or which contain written options are required to be recognised at fair value, with gains and losses recognised in the
profit or loss.

An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract where the host contract is not a financial
asset, and accounted for separately if, and only if, the derivative is not closely related to the economic characteristics
and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. The host
contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy
applicable to the nature of the host contract.

(v) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position
if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention
to settle on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(vi) Effective interest method

Amortised cost is computed using the effective interest method. This method uses effective interest rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument to the
net carrying amount of the financial instrument. Amortised cost takes into account any transaction costs and any
discount or premium on settlement.

(vii) Amortised cost of financial instruments

Interest income is recognised by applying effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount except for credit
impaired financial assets (see Note 2.8(i)) where effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost.

(viii) Derecognition of financial instruments

A financial asset is derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or, the Group and
the Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the asset or have assumed an obligation to pay
the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement without
retaining control of the asset or substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial
asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new
asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity
is recognised in the profit or loss, except for equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income
where the gain or loss are recognised in other comprehensive income.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred
or liabilities assumed, is recognised in the profit or loss. In the case of waiver of debt from owners, the gain is
recognised in equity as capital reserve.

2.8 Impairment
(i) Financial assets

The Group and the Company recognise loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at
amortised cost.

The Group and the Company measure loss allowances on cash and cash equivalents at an amount equal to lifetime
expected credit loss.

Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and
when estimating expected credit loss, the Group and the Company consider reasonable and supportable information
that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information
and analysis, based on the Group’s and the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and
including forward-looking information, where available.

The Group and the Company assume that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is past
due.

The Group and the Company consider a financial asset to be in default when the borrower is unlikely to pay its
credit obligations to the Group and the Company in full, without recourse by the Group and the Company to actions
such as realising security.

2.8 Impairment (continued)
(i) Financial assets (continued)

Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the
expected life of a financial instrument, while 12-month expected credit losses are the portion of expected credit
losses that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.

The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over
which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

An impairment loss in respect of financial assets measured at amortised cost is recognised in profit or loss and the
carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.

All financial assets, except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to impairment
(see Note 2.7(i)).

(ii)
Other assets

The carrying amounts of other assets, other than inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current assets are reviewed
at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the
carrying amount of an asset or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.

A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows from continuing use that are
largely independent from other assets and groups. An impairment loss recognised in respect of a cash-generating
unit is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to reduce the
carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less
costs of disposal. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset or cash-generating unit. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows,
the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications
that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the
asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation
or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or
loss in the year in which reversals are recognised.

2.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and bank balances, deposits with licensed financial institutions and
highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value and are used by the Group and the
Company in the management of their short-term commitments. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and deposits restricted, if any.

2.10 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Cost of material stores and spares consists of the invoiced value from suppliers and import duty charges and is determined
on a weighted average basis.

Cost of liquefied gases and water is determined on a weighted average basis.

2.11 Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group and the Company have a present legal or constructive
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future net cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used,
the accretion in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at
the reporting date. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Possible obligations whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future
events not wholly within the control of the Group, are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed as
contingent liabilities unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is considered remote.

2.12 Employee benefits


Short term benefits

Wages and salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the
associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and the Company.

Defined contribution plans

As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the state pension scheme, the Employees Provident Fund
(“EPF”). Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred.

2.13 Taxation
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the profit or
loss except to the extent it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is
recognised in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the statutory tax rates at the
reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities
are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary
differences, unabsorbed capital allowances, unused reinvestment allowances, unused investment tax allowances, unused
tax losses and other unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences, unabsorbed capital allowances, unused reinvestment allowances, unused
investment tax allowances, unused tax losses and other unused tax credits can be utilised.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability
is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets,
and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities
where they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised
simultaneously.

Deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the
future taxable profit will be available against which the related tax benefit can be realised.

Unused reinvestment allowance and unused investment tax allowance, being tax incentives that is not a tax base of
an asset, is recognised as a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that the future taxable profits will be
available against which the unused tax incentive can be utilised.

2.14 Foreign currency transactions
In preparing the financial statements of individual entities in the Group, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are translated to the functional currencies at rates of exchange ruling on the
transaction dates.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date have been retranslated to the
functional currency at rates ruling on the reporting date.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at reporting date, except for
those that are measured at fair value, are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date when the
fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are not
retranslated.

Gains and losses on exchange arising from retranslation are recognised in the profit or loss. On consolidation, the assets
and liabilities of subsidiaries with functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia, are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at
the exchange rates ruling at reporting date.

The income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or an average rate that
approximates those rates.

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency
translation reserve within equity.

2.15 Borrowing costs and foreign currency exchange differences relating to projects-in-progress
Borrowing costs which are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets,
which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to be prepared for their intended use or sale, are
capitalised as part of the cost of those assets.

The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the assets
is being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended
use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when all activities necessary to prepare the qualifying
asset for its intended use or sale are completed.

Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings, although regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs,
are not capitalised but instead recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

The capitalisation rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is the weighted average
of borrowings that are outstanding during the year, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of financing
a specific qualifying asset, in which the actual borrowing cost incurred on that borrowing less any investment income on
the temporary investment of that borrowings will be capitalised. Borrowing costs incurred subsequently to the completion
of a specific qualifying asset are included in the determination of the capitalisation rate.

2.16 Revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer
and exclude amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group and the Company recognise revenue when or as it
transfers control over a product or service to customer. An asset is transferred when the customer obtains control of the
asset.

An entity transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance obligation and recognises
revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met:

(a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity
performs; or
(b) the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work-in-progress) that the customer controls
as the asset is created or enhanced; or
(c) the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable
right to payment for performance completed to date.

If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time in accordance with the above criteria, then the Group or the Company
satisfies the performance obligation and recognises revenue at a point in time.

2.17 Financing costs


Financing costs comprise of interest component of finance lease payments, interest payable on borrowings and profit
share margin on Islamic Financing Facilities, as well as accretion in provision due to the passage of time.

All interest and other costs incurred in connection with borrowings are expensed as incurred, other than that capitalised
in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2.15. The interest component of finance lease payments is
accounted for in accordance with the policy set out in Note 2.5.

2.18 Deferred income


Deferred income is recognised in profit or loss on a time proportion basis over the agreed contract period or applicable
period.

2.19 Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit and loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average
number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, if any.

2.20 Operating segments


An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and
incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components,
and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segment results are reviewed regularly by the chief
operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance.

2.21 Contingencies
(i) Contingent liabilities

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated
reliably, the obligation is not recognised in the statements of financial position and is disclosed as a contingent
liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence
will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also as disclosed as
contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefit is remote.

(ii)
Contingent assets

When an inflow of economic benefit of an asset is probable where it arises from past events and where existence
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly
within the control of the entity, the asset is not recognised in the statement of financial position but is disclosed as
a contingent asset. When the inflow of economic benefit is virtually certain, then the related asset is recognised.

2.22 Government grants


Government grants related to assets, including non-monetary grants at fair value, are deducted against the construction
cost of the assets. Subsequently, the grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the life of the asset
as a reduced depreciation expense.

2.23 Fair value measurement
Fair value of an asset or a liability, except for lease transactions, is determined as the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal
market or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

(i) Financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organised financial markets are determined by
reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business at the end of reporting date. For financial instruments
where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques may include
using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is
substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

(ii)
Non-financial assets

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate
economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that
would use the asset in its highest and best use.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group and the Company use observable market data as far
as possible. Fair value is categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in the valuation
technique as follows:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
• Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable input).

The fair value of an asset to be transferred between levels is determined as of the date of the event or change in
circumstances that caused the transfer.

The Group and the Company recognise transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or
change in circumstances that caused the transfers.

Total depreciation 82,580 86,051 8,079 8,218

Extension options

Certain lease contracts contain extension option exercisable before the end of the non-cancellable contract period.
The discounted potential future lease payments arising from exercisable extension option was not included in the lease
liabilities due to uncertainty at the reporting date as to whether the Group will exercise the extension terms.

Significant judgments and assumptions in relation to leases

The Group also applied judgment and assumptions in determining the incremental borrowing rate of the respective leases.
Group entities first determine the closest available borrowing rates before using significant judgment to determine the
adjustments required to reflect the term, security, value or economic environment of the respective leases.

Lease modification

During the year, lease modification arose from the rate revisions on the rental of seabed from state government and usage
of jetty facilities of the Group’s subsidiaries. In accordance to MFRS 16 Leases, the change in the consideration of the
leases has been adjusted by remeasuring the lease liabilities using the discount rate at the date of modification ranging
from 8.2% to 8.4%. Corresponding adjustments were made against the respective right-of-use assets.

3.2 As a lessor

Property, plant and equipment leased to others as operating lease

The Company leased out a warehouse to a subsidiary under operating lease arrangement expiring in 2024. The lease
income recognised in profit or loss during the year amounted to RM103,000 (2020: RM103,000).

The operating lease payments to be received until end of the lease tenure amounted to RM266,000 (2020: RM61,000).

3.5 Impairment

No impairment on assets were recognised as at 31 December 2021 and as at 31 December 2020.

3.6 Land lease agreement for seabed land at a subsidiary

A subsidiary of the Group has entered into an agreement with the state government (“the lessor”) to lease a seabed land
situated off the coast of Sg. Udang in Melaka for 25 years from 2011 to 2036 on which the subsidiary’s LNG regasification
terminal and offshore pipeline resides. Upon termination or expiry of the agreement, the land is to be re-delivered to the
lessor in a manner to be mutually agreed between both parties.

Under the agreement, the lessor may require the land to be delivered together with all of the subsidiary’s equipment,
erections, fixtures, structures and sub-structures (“the assets”) constructed on the land at a consideration to be mutually
agreed between the parties. Should there be no mutual agreement on the consideration, the lessor may then require
the subsidiary to remove the assets, or they may appoint a third party to carry out the removal works and recharge
the subsidiary for the costs incurred. The subsidiary of the Group has assessed that currently it is not probable that the
subsidiary will be required to remove the assets.

profit or loss.

28. OPERATING SEGMENTS


The Group has four reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic business units. The strategic
business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different technology and
marketing strategies. For each of the strategic business units, the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker which is the Board
of Directors, reviews internal management reports at least on a quarterly basis. The following summary describes the operations
in each of the Group’s reportable segments:

• Gas processing – activities include processing of natural gas from gas fields offshore the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia
into salesgas and other by-products such as ethane, propane and butane.

• Gas transportation – activities include transportation of sales gas to shippers’ end customers throughout Malaysia and
export to Singapore as well as provision of operations and maintenance services.

• Regasification – activities include regasification of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) into the Peninsular Gas Utilisation pipeline
network and provision of LNG reloading, truck loading and gassing up and cooling down services.

• Utilities – activities include manufacturing, marketing and supplying of industrial utilities to the petrochemical complexes
in the Kertih and Gebeng Industrial Area and provision of operations and maintenance services.

Performance is measured based on segment gross profit as included in the internal management reports. Segment gross profit
is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of
the segments.

Segment results refer to segment gross profit. The total segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well
as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated expenses mainly comprise forex gain or loss, other corporate
income and expenses.

The total of segment assets are measured based on all assets of a segment, excluding interest bearing assets and corporate
assets as these are managed on a group basis.

The segmental information in respect of the joint ventures and associate is not presented as the contribution of the associate
and joint ventures and the carrying amounts of investment in the associate and joint ventures have been reflected in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position of the Group. Details of the
joint ventures and associate are disclosed in Note 5 and Note 6 to the financial statements respectively.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire non-current assets that are expected to be
used for more than one period, other than financial instruments and deferred tax assets.

Financial risk management

The Group and the Company are exposed to various risks that are particular to its core business which consists of separating
natural gas into its components and storing, transporting and distributing such components thereof for a fee, the sale of
industrial utilities and the regasification of liquefied natural gas for a fee. These risks, which arise in the normal course of the
Group’s and the Company’s business, comprise credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk relating to interest rates and foreign
currency exchange rates.

The Group and the Company have policies and guidelines in place that sets the foundation for a consistent approach towards
establishing an effective financial risk management across the PETRONAS Group.
197

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)


Financial risk management (continued)

Risk taking activities are undertaken within acceptable level of risk or risk appetite, whereby the risk appetite level reflects
business considerations and capacity to assume such risks. The risk appetite is established at Board level, where relevant, based
on defined methodology and translated into operational thresholds.

The Group’s and the Company’s goal in risk management is to ensure that the management understands, measures and monitors
the various risks that arise in connection with their operations. Policies and guidelines have been developed to identify, analyse,
appraise and monitor the dynamic risks facing the Group and the Company. Based on this assessment, the Group and the
Company adopt appropriate measures to mitigate these risks in accordance with their view of the balance between risk and
reward.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the potential exposure of the Group and of the Company to losses in the event of non-performance by
counterparties. The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit risk arise from their operating activities, primarily from
their receivables from customers and fund investments. The credit risk arising from the Group’s and the Company’s normal
operations are controlled by individual operating units in line with PETRONAS’ policies and guidelines.

(i) Receivables

Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk

The Group and the Company minimise its credit risk by entering into contracts with highly rated counterparties. Potential
counterparties are subject to credit assessment and approval prior to any transaction being concluded and existing
counterparties are subject to regular reviews, including re-appraisal and approval of granted limits. The creditworthiness
of counterparties is assessed based on an analysis of all available quantitative and qualitative data regarding business risks
and financial standing, together with the review of any relevant third party and market information. Reports are prepared
and presented to the management that cover the Group’s overall credit exposure against limits and securities.

Depending on the types of transactions and counterparty’s creditworthiness, the Group and the Company further mitigate
and limit risks related to credit by requiring other credit enhancements such as cash deposits and bank guarantees.
No collateral or other credit enhancement is required from related parties.

At each reporting date, the Group and the Company assess whether any of the trade receivables are credit impaired.

The gross carrying amounts of credit impaired trade receivables are written off (either partially or in full) when there is
no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group or the Company determines that the debtor
does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the
write-off. Nevertheless, trade receivables that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities.

Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral

As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from trade receivables are represented
by the carrying amounts in the statement of financial position.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired.
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash
flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

– significant financial difficulty of the customer;


– a breach of contract such as a default; or
– it is probable that the customer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.

Concentration of credit risk

As at the reporting date, significant receivables relate to amounts due from holding company and amounts due from
related companies.

Recognition and measurement of impairment loss

In managing credit risk of trade receivables, the Group manages its debtors and takes appropriate actions (including but
not limited to legal actions) to recover long overdue balances.

The Group and the Company perform credit rating assessment of all its counterparties in order to measure Expected
Credit Loss (“ECL”) of trade receivables for all segments using the PETRONAS Credit Risk Rating system. This credit rating
assessment considers quantitative assessment using the counterparties’ financial statements or a qualitative assessment
of the counterparties which includes but is not limited to their reputation, competitive position, industry and geopolitical
outlook.

In determining the ECL, the probability of default assigned to each counterparty is based on their individual credit rating.
This probability of default is derived by benchmarking against available third party and market information, which also
incorporates forward looking information.

Loss given default is the assumption of the proportion of financial asset that cannot be recovered by conversion of
collateral to cash or by legal process, and is assessed based on the Company’s historical experience.

(ii) Fund investments

The Group and the Company are also exposed to counterparty credit risk from financial institutions through fund
investments activities which is managed by PETRONAS IFSSC on behalf of the Group comprising primarily money market
placement. These exposures are managed in accordance with existing policies and guidelines that define the parameters
within which the investment activities shall be undertaken in order to achieve the Group’s investment objective of
preserving capital and generating optimal returns above appropriate benchmarks within allowable risk parameters.

Investments are only made with approved counterparties who met the appropriate rating and other relevant criteria,
and within approved credit limits, as stipulated in the policies and guidelines. The treasury function is governed by a
counterparty credit risk management framework.

As at the reporting date, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from fund investments is represented by the carrying
amounts in the statement of financial position.

The credit risk on a financial instrument is considered low, if the financial instrument has a low risk of default, the borrower
has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic
and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its
contractual cash flow obligations. The Group and the Company assume that there is a significant increase in credit risk
when it is past due.

While the fund investments are unsecured, the Group and the Company do not expect any of the counterparties to fail to
meet its obligation in view of their sound credit ratings.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s exposure to
liquidity risk arise principally from its trade and other payables and borrowings. In managing its liquidity risk, the Group and the
Company maintain sufficient cash and liquid marketable assets.

The Group’s and the Company’s borrowing power is not limited by the Company’s and respective Group entities’ constitutions.
However, certain borrowing covenants impose limited restrictions on some of the debt level of the Group and Company.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from changes in market prices and their impact on the performance of the business.
The market price changes that the Group and the Company are exposed to includes interest rates, foreign currency exchange
rates and other indices that could adversely affect the value of the Group’s and of the Company’s financial assets, liabilities or
expected future cash flows.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s and the Company’s investments in fixed rate debt instruments are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due
to changes in interest rates. The Group’s and Company’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows
due to changes in interest rates. Short term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.

All interest rate exposures are monitored and managed proactively in line with PETRONAS policies and guidelines. The Group
enters into hedging transactions to minimise exposure to the interest rate movement in accordance with policies and guidelines.

The Group and the Company are also exposed to the ongoing interbank offered rates (IBOR) reforms on its financial instruments
that will be replaced or reformed as part of these market-wide initiatives.

Market risk (continued)

Interest rate risk (continued)

The Group’s and the Company’s main IBOR exposure are indexed to USD LIBOR which will be discontinued on a revised
timeline of 30 June 2023. The alternative reference rate is Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The Group has established
PETRONAS LIBOR Transition committee which monitors and manages the Groupwide transition to alternative rates with an aim
to achieve economically equivalent transactions and minimal impact upon transition. As at reporting date, transitional activities
are currently ongoing, and the Group and the Company have no transactions for which the benchmark rate had been replaced
with an alternative benchmark rate.

The interest rate profile of the Group’s and the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments based on carrying amount as

All interest rate exposures are monitored and managed proactively in line with PETRONAS’ policies and guidelines.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

A change of basis points (b.p.s) in interest rates for financial asset and financial liabilities respectively at the end of the reporting
period would have increased pre-tax profit or loss by the amounts shown below. The analysis assumes that all other variables,
in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in foreign currency exchange rates. The Group and the Company are exposed to varying levels of foreign currency risk when
they enter into transactions that are not denominated in the respective companies’ functional currencies or when foreign
currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the reporting date.

The Group and the Company operate predominantly in Malaysia and transact mainly in Ringgit Malaysia.

The Group’s and the Company’s foreign exchange management policy are to minimise economic and significant transactional
exposures arising from currency movements. For major capital projects, the Group and the Company perform assessment of
potential foreign exchange risk exposure at the investment decision phase to determine the appropriate foreign exchange
risk management strategy. Residual net positions are actively managed and monitored against prescribed policies and
control procedures. When deemed necessary and appropriate, the Group and the Company will enter into derivative financial
instruments to hedge and minimise its exposures to the foreign currency movements.

The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk (a currency which is other than the functional currency of
the Group entities), based on carrying amounts as at the reporting date are as follows:

Currency risk sensitivity analysis

Sensitivity analysis for a given market variable provided in this note, discloses the effect on profit or loss as at 31 December 2021
assuming that a reasonably possible change in the relevant market variable had occurred at 31 December 2021 and been applied
to the risk exposures in existence at that date to show the effects of reasonably possible changes in price on profit or loss and
equity to the next annual reporting date. Reasonably possible changes in market variables used in the sensitivity analysis are
based on implied volatilities, where available, or historical data for equity and commodity prices and foreign exchange rates.
Reasonably possible changes in interest rates are based on management judgment and historical experience.

The sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance because the
Group’s actual exposure to market prices is constantly changing with changes in the Group’s portfolio of among others, debt
and foreign currency contracts where relevant. Changes in fair values or cash flows based on a variation in a market variable
cannot be extrapolated because the relationship between the change in market variable and the change in fair value or cash
flows may not be linear. In addition, the effect of a change in a given market variable is calculated independently of any change
in another assumption and mitigating actions that would be taken by the Group. In reality, changes in one factor may contribute
to changes in another, which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

The calculation of fair value for derivatives and non-derivatives assets and liabilities within financial instruments depends on the
type of instruments as follows:

• Fair value of non-derivative financial instruments, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on
the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the
reporting period.

• Fair value of forward exchange contracts are estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward
price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate (based on
government bonds).

30. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT


The Group and the Company define capital as their total equity and debt. The objective of the Group’s and the Company’s capital
management is to maintain an optimal capital structure and ensuring availability of funds in order to meet financial obligations,
support business growth and maximise shareholder’s value. As a subsidiary of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (“PETRONAS”),
the Company’s approach in managing capital is outlined in the PETRONAS Financial Policy.

The Group and the Company monitor and maintain a prudent level of total debt to total asset ratio to optimise shareholder
value and to ensure compliance with covenants under debt and shareholders’ agreements and regulatory requirements, if any.

There were no changes in the Group’s and the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.

31. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED PRONOUNCEMENTS


During the financial year, the Group and the Company adopted the following pronouncements that have been issued by the
MASB and are applicable as listed below:

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021

Amendments to MFRS 9 Financial Instruments, MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and
MFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, MFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and MFRS 16 Leases (Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
– Phase 2)

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021

Amendment to MFRS 16 Leases (COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021)

The principal changes in accounting policies and their effects are set out below:

Amendments to MFRS 9 Financial Instruments, MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, MFRS 7 Financial
Instruments: Disclosures, MFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and MFRS 16 Leases (Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2)

The amendments provide practical expedients whereby modifications due to changes in interest rate benchmark resulting from
interest rate benchmark reform, would only require an update to the effective interest rate to reflect the change in the interest
rate benchmark and would not result in derecognition or adjustment to the carrying amount of financial instruments and leases.
The amendments also provide practical reliefs for hedge accounting requirements.

These amendments had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the Company.
The Group and the Company intend to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable. As at reporting
date, transitional activities are currently ongoing, and the Group and the Company have no transactions for which the benchmark
rate had been replaced with an alternative benchmark rate.

The initial application of the above-mentioned pronouncements did not have any material impact to the financial statements
of the Group and the Company.

INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS’ REPORT
to the members of PETRONAS Gas Berhad (Company No. 198301006447 (101671-H)) (Incorporated in Malaysia)

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of PETRONAS Gas Berhad., which comprise the statements of financial position as at
31 December 2021 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income,
statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended, and notes
to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 116 to 214.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of
the Company as at 31 December 2021, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the
Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our auditors’ report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence and Other Ethical Responsibilities

We are independent of the Group and of Company in accordance with the By­laws (on Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of
the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“By-Laws”) and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code
of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (“IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the By-Laws and the IESBA Code.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.

INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS’ REPORT
to the members of PETRONAS Gas Berhad (Company No. 198301006447 (101671-H)) (Incorporated in Malaysia)

Capitalisation and componentisation of completed projects

Refer to Note 2.4 - Significant accounting policy: Property, plant and equipment and depreciation and Note 3 - Property, plant and
equipment.

The Group and the Company have significant property, plant and equipment including projects-in-progress recognised as at the end
of the reporting period. During the year, the Group and the Company completed significant capital projects and capitalised costs
amounting to RM716 million and RM706 million respectively. Due to the size, complexity and volume of transactions involved in the
capitalisation and componentisation process, there is a risk that the costs capitalised are not in accordance of MFRS 116, Property,
Plant and Equipment. It is a significant area that our audit focuses on because it requires us to exercise judgement in evaluating
management’s process over the capitalisation and componentisation of the completed projects.

We performed the following audit procedures, among others:

• checked the completion date of project-in-progress to determine that completed projects were capitalised timely;
• evaluated the capitalisation process and determined that costs capitalised met the requirements of MFRS 116;
• evaluated the componentisation process to determine that significant components with different useful lives are depreciated
separately; and
• assessed that any borrowing costs capitalised met the requirement of MFRS 123, Borrowing Costs.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report Thereon

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included
in the Directors’ Report, and Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control (but does not include the financial statements of
the Group and of the Company and our auditors’ report thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this auditors’ report, and the
remaining parts of the annual report, which are expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company does not cover the other information and we do not and
we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
statement of the Group and of the Company or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditors’ report,
we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.

When we read the remaining parts of the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required
to communicate the matter to the Directors of the company and take appropriate actions in accordance with approved standards on
auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing.
217

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that
give a true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards
and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia. The Directors are also responsible for such internal control as the
Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Company that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, the Directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the
Group and of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations,
or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with approved
standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing,
we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or
the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Group and
of the Company.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by the Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
ability of the Group or of the Company to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements of the Group and of
the Company or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Company
to cease to continue as a going concern.

to the members of PETRONAS Gas Berhad (Company No. 198301006447 (101671-H)) (Incorporated in Malaysia)

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (continued)

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Company represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the
Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence,
and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the
financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our auditors’ report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Matter

This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the Companies Act 2016 in
Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.
