Commencing from July 23 2008, PT Energy CNG has become a PMA (Direct Foreign Investment) company. As Foreign Investment Body approves Mr. Sulaiman Ahmed Said Al-Hoqani from the United Arab Emirates to acquire part of PT Energy CNG shares.
Mr. Al-Hoqani is the Chairman of the Global Financial Investment Holding S.A.O.G. of the Sultanate of Oman. The Global Financial Investment Holding S.A.O.G. controls Mr. Al-Hoqani businesses in Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Pakistan, RUmania, Malaysia, Thailand etc.
We believe this acquisition will accelerate the development of PT Energy CNG's gas business in Indonesia - particularly its compressed natural gas distribution system.
