Background=

In November 2016, China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau, a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation, won the contracts to build the 600-km (373-mile) Multi-Products Oil Pipeline along the west coast of peninsular Malaysia.

In July 2018 the new Pakatan Harapan Government came to power after Barisan Nasional's 61-year rule and made public documents showing that while 88% of the pipeline's RM4.06bil cost had been paid out, only 11.4% of land clearing had been completed. Energy, Technology, Science, Climate Change and Environment Minister Yeo Bee Yin demanded that the money be repaid. In August 2018 the government cancelled both pipelines.
