The Malaysian Gas Association (MGA) is a
non-profit organisation formed on 21 July 1986 under the ambit and
initiative of its founder members, namely PETRONAS, Shell, Esso and BP. Its
objectives are to stimulate the development of the gas industry in Malaysia and
to provide a forum for members to exchange experiences and to advance knowledge
on all aspects of the gas and gas-related areas. Over the years, MGA has grown
in size, having a membership of more than 130 corporate organisations hailing
