> Asia is likely to depend more on neighbouring countries and long-term partners for energy as security concerns drive the region towards greater self-sufficiency, Petronas CEO Tengku Muhammad Taufik says. He expects this to make Asia more regionalised rather than dependent on a global ecosystem. Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg says ASEAN needs common rules and agreement.
