He said although there are already Bumiputera businesses in the sector, they have not been successful.

"This is what we should work together for, so that Bumiputeras in the oil and gas industry can advance and succeed," he said when addressing a breaking of fast organised by the Sabah Bumiputera Chamber of Commerce, Malay Chamber of Commerce Malaysia Sabah chapter and Perdasama here tonight.

Musa, who is also state Finance Minister, expressed hope that more Bumiputera consortiums would grab the opportunities provided by the government in the oil and gas sector.

"I believe you (business people and entrepreneurs) will continue to work hard, don't give up when seeking opportunities in business and industry.

"In business there are always ups and downs, sometimes we are disappointed, but that's one of the bases for us to succeed in our business in future," he said.

Success in business requires physical and mental strength as well as determination, he said, urging them to emulate the Chinese in business.

"If they (the Chinese) can succeed, we can also succeed. What is important is our dedication and commitment to succeed," he said.

Musa also urged the relevant chambers of commerce to hold more workshops and forums that focus on business opportunities for Bumiputeras.
