had mr . trump’s revenues grown at the rate of other atlantic city casinos , his company could have made its interest payments and possibly registered a profit . but with sagging revenues and high costs , his casinos had too little money for renovations and improvements , which are vital for hotels to attract guests . the public company never logged a profitable year .
after more than tripling as new casinos opened through the 1980s , gambling revenues in atlantic city flattened in 1990 , rising by just 1 . 35 percent , as gamblers grew more cautious in light of a national recession . all were hurt , recalled mr . perskie , the casino regulator , but none were in the catastrophic financial shape of mr . trump’s .
in three interviews with the times since late april , mr . trump acknowledged in general terms that high debt and lagging revenues had plagued his casinos . he did not recall details about some issues , but did not question the times’s findings . he repeatedly emphasized that what really mattered about his time in atlantic city was that he had made a lot of money there .
“he put a number of local contractors and suppliers out of business when he didn’t pay them , ” said steven p . perskie , who was new jersey’s top casino regulator in the early 1990s . “so when he left atlantic city , it wasn’t , ‘sorry to see you go . ’ it was , ‘how fast can you get the hell out of here ? ’”

“he helped expand atlantic city , but he just did not put the equity into the projects he should have to keep them solvent , ” said h . steven norton , a casino consultant and a former casino executive at resorts international . “when he went bankrupt , he not only cost bondholders money , but he hurt a lot of small businesses that helped him construct the taj mahal . ”
on the presidential campaign trail , mr . trump , the presumptive republican nominee , often boasts of his success in atlantic city , of how he outwitted the wall street firms that financed his casinos and rode the value of his name to riches . a central argument of his candidacy is that he would bring the same business prowess to the oval office , doing for america what he did for his companies .
atlantic city is a resort community located on absecon island , just off the coast of new jersey . atlantic city has been a tourist magnet since 1854 , when philadelphia speculators created it as a rail terminal resort . in 1909 , at the peak of the seaside town ' s popularity , baedeker wrote ' there is something colossal about its vulgarity ' — a quality which it sustains today , even while beset by bankruptcy and decay . the real - life model for the board game monopoly , it has an impressive history of popular culture , boasting the nation ' s first boardwalk ( 1870 ) , the world ' s first big wheel ( 1892 ) , the first color postcards ( 1893 ) and the first miss america beauty pageant ( cunningly devised to extend the tourist season in 1921 , and still held here yearly ) .
as all of his ventures neared collapse , mr . trump’s lenders insisted that he submit a business plan , appoint a chief financial officer for the trump organization and sell , among other things , the trump shuttle airline , his yacht and his stake in new york city’s plaza hotel , which also filed for bankruptcy protection . they also put him on a $ 450 , 000 - a - month budget for personal and household expenses .

sabah gas industries sdn bhd was a state owned holding company based in labuan , malaysia .

it was established in 1982 by the government of sabah for the downstream operations of sabah natural gas resources .

the company owned and operated a 660,000-tonne per year methanol plant , a 600,000-tonne per year sponge iron factory , and a 79 mw natural gas-fired power station , all commissioned in 1984 after the gas pipeline from the offshore gas fields became operational .

the industries were supplied by natural gas from the erb west and samarang offshore fields .

in the beginning of the 1990s , due to financial difficulties , the company was put for privatisation .

in 1992 , the methanol plant was sold to petronas and operates today as petronas methanol ( labuan ) sdn bhd .

the power station was sold to sabah electricity .

the sponge iron factory was bought by the affiliated companies of the today 's lion group .

the plant operates today as antara steel mills sdn bhd .

sabah gas industries

merican did not explain why oil - and - gas related industries have been developed in non - oil states like pahang , malacca , kedah and johor while such industries are lacking in sabah , which has most of malaysia oil reserves .
the proposal was scrapped in favour of the only practical idea - ship sabah’s gas to bintulu and use the rest to support downstream gas industries at the planned full - fledged petrochemical complex in bintulu .
the sabah oil and gas terminal ( sogt ) is a part of the sabah - sarawak integrated oil and gas project ( ssiogp ) undertaken by petronas carigali in the state of sabah , in east malaysia . the terminal processes oil and gas produced from the region’s offshore fields .
the proposal to build a new oil and gas terminal at sabah was put forward in 2005 .
the lack of supporting infrastructure – not up to world - class standard – like water and related facilities for the oil and gas industry in sabah , appears to be a major problem holding back the state in these industries , judging from merican’s assessments .
the crude oil and gas / condensate reaching the sabah terminal is separated and stored in tanks . the gas is sent to the petronas lng complex in bintulu via the sabah - sarawak pipeline , for processing and further export or sale .
sabah oil & gas conference & exhibition is a major event servicing the malaysian state of sabah ' s oil & gas industry . the show brings together suppliers and buyers under one roof in a dynamic environment featuring the latest in technology and unparalleled industry networking .
so far , production from sabah comprises 15 percent of the nation’s crude oil and condensates ; two percent of the gas production and 7 . 7 percent of the combined oil and gas production .
the integrated project involved construction of an upstream infrastructure to tap offshore oil and gas reserves in the sabah region and process the produced resources . it included offshore field development , construction of the sogt and a 512km onshore pipeline called the sabah - sarawak gas pipeline .
through its group is the most experienced spiral pipe manufacturer in malaysia with an extensive track record dating back to 1983 when the first spiral weld pipe manufacturing plant ppi industries sdn bhd was established in prai , penang . ppi industries sdn bhd is the pioneer in the manufacturing of spiral welded pipes in malaysia . following that through its associated company hicom petro - pipe , we have successfully manufactured , coated and supplied in excess of 700km pipes for the petronas gas pgu project .
“we ( sabah ) have oil but we only get five percent royalty . we have gas but it is being piped out . we have an oil and gas industry but little participation in its downstream activities . ”
vessco engineering limited designs and builds pressure vessels , columns , shell and tube heat exchangers , air cooler heat exchangers , skid packages , reactors , tanks , drums , and pressurised columns for the petroleum , lng and petrochemical industries .
“it was not an afterthought , ” he said , referring to the nov 7 federal cabinet meeting which ostensibly approved a full - fledged petrochemical complex and oil refinery in sabah in compensation for “surplus sabah gas being shipped from kimanis to bintulu” after upko chief bernard dompok raised the subject of the on - off and on again gas pipeline .
the new terminal is needed because crude oil terminal labuan and natural gas terminal kg gayang do not have sufficient capacity to handle oil and gas production from new fields .
300 , 000boe per day of crude oil and 1 . 25bcf per day of gas
“the figures given by petronas on its reserves and current production level do not indicate , in any way , the viability or otherwise of the oil and gas industry in sabah .
the sabah terminal became operational in december 2013 . it is designed to handle 300 , 000 barrels of oil a day and 1 . 25 billion cubic feet ( bcf ) of gas a day . sabah’s capacity is equivalent to about 40 % of malaysia’s crude oil production .
the sogt serves the offshore fields developed as part of the sabah - sarawak integrated oil and gas project . the fields include gumusut / kakap , kinabalu deep and east , kebabangan and malikai .
the sabah terminal occupies a 250 - acre greenfield site at kimanis , a township that lies 45km from the city of kota kinabalu . the location is proximate to a number of sabah offshore fields .
neither did he touch on the electricity shortage along the eastern seaboard of sabah which necessitates the setting up of a gas - fired plant along the west coast to generate electricity for the east coast .
b . i . g . industries berhad , ( “b . i . g . ” ) has been operating in east malaysia for more than 30 years . b . i . g . stands for bintulu industrial gas . the group established its business in 1982 in miri , sarawak . we were listed on the klse second board in 1995 . presently , we are listed on the main board of bursa malaysia securities berhad .

“we have substantial oil and gas reserves / deposits but we are being told that ‘you only have very little’ . petronas talks about a big royalty revenue for sabah . where is the logic ( in all this ) ? ” he asked .
while sabah did not request for a lng ( liquefied natural gas ) plant in the state , merican disclosed that such a plant was considered , found to be not economically viable – especially in view of existing facilities in bintulu , sarawak .
according to figures released by merican ( left ) , sabah at jan 1 , 2008 had 44 percent of malaysia’s crude oil and condensates ( 2 . 4 billion barrels of oil equivalent per day ) ; 14 . 5 percent of gas ( 2 . 1 billion bboe / 12 . 7 tcf ) and 22 percent of the nation’s combined oil and gas total .
the terminal is equipped with infrastructure to receive , process , store , measure and export crude oil and gas / condensate .
petronas has plans for a oil and gas terminal ( sogt ) on 250 acres in kampung takis , kimanis , papar .
sabah energy corporation sdn bhd is a sabah state government company established to spearhead the development of energy resources of sabah and to promote , stimulate , facilitate and undertake industrial , commercial , economic and other development projects . this includes manufacturing , assembling , processing , and marketing activities , amongst other functions . its group of companies continues to operate in the area of gas retailing , property development , marine and offshore centralised logistic support services / facilities and development of the energy resources of the state of sabah . future viable projects which are synergistic with sec ' s group activities , will be undertaken either through direct participation or on a joint - venture basis .
the onshore pipeline is 90km - long in sabah and 422km - long in sarawak . it begins in kimanis and ends at bintulu .
its principal activities will be to receive , store and export crude oil from the offshore fields . sogt will also receive , process , compress and transport gas from the offshore fields through a 500km pipeline to petronas’ mnlg ( malaysian liquefied natural gas ) complex in bintulu .
petro - pipe ( sabah ) sdn bhd ( pps ) the most experienced spiral pipe manufacturer in malaysia with an extensive track record since 1983 .
the sabah - sarawak pipeline construction contract was awarded to a consortium of punj lloyd , dialog e & c and petrosab logistik in 2008 . the consortium was led by punj lloyd .
among others , merican also said in his nov 16 interview that petronas has completed plans for a full - fledged petrochemical complex in 2006 and discussed the project with sabah chief minister musa aman .
incorporated through a joint venture in 2007 , pps operates a spiral pipe manufacturing plant in kota kinabalu , sabah , malaysia . the pipe - making facility is equipped with modern technology that allows us to produce high - quality spiral - welded steel pipes for water , oil and gas transmission and general structural purpose . our pipes comply fully to api 5l and are acceptable for all onshore applications .
pkr sabah chief jeffrey kitingan has “a sneaking suspicion” that petronas chief hassan merican has been less than candid in his lengthy statement on the state’s resources , which appeared in daily express and new sunday times on sunday .
the designed capacity is 300 , 000 barrels of oil per day and 1 . 25 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day . the storage capacity for crude oil is 2 . 5 million barrels . construction started in june last year and operations will commence in january 2010 .

the nearby port at bintulu may be used to export oil and condensate cargo from the terminal .
samsung engineering was awarded the engineering , procurement , construction and commissioning ( epcc ) contract . the myr2 . 44bn ( $ 770m ) contract was signed in october 2010 .
samsung engineering partnered with malaysian construction company naim cendera ( ncsb engineering ) to execute the project . naim was responsible for the construction of support infrastructure such as roads , bridges , earthworks and site offices .
rnz integrated , a division of the rnz group , was involved in the design and engineering of the terminal between october 2006 and february 2009 . kasi ( malaysia ) conducted a comprehensive review of the design .
chemsain konsultant carried out the environmental impact assessment and quantitative risk analysis ( qra ) for the integrated project .
ground - breaking was held in february 2007 by the then prime minister of malaysia , dato’ seri abdullah haji ahmad badawi .
the samsung - naim joint venture achieved mechanical completion of the terminal by late 2013 .
subsea pipelines were laid to connect the terminal with the offshore fields of the integrated project .
the lng complex has eight production trains with a total processing capacity of nearly 23 million tonnes of hydrocarbons a year .

“petronas should be more transparent and truthful as it is dealing with a state and national resource and not a private property , ” said kitingan in an emailed statement late last night to malaysiakini .
“the petronas chief should resign if the information or assessment from an independent assessor differs from his statement on nov 16 , ” said kitingan .
“what it does show is that we have yet to exploit these resources , i . e . 14 . 5 percent of malaysia’s total reserves versus a two per cent production . ”
“all the facilities we have built are world class because this is a global business , ” said merican . “the ability to bring in the big players is crucial .
“people always criticise petronas . they say we keep things quiet . but in this industry , this is how we do it . ”
