History of the Club
The Malaysian Petroleum Club is the brainchild of the late Tun Azizan, a ‘Quintessential Man’ and a true captain of industry who contributed priceless amount of time and effort in helping shaped and developed Malaysia.
The exclusive business club is the centerpiece of the Malaysian oil & gas industry, their associates and the civil service. It first opened in 1991 at the original headquarters of PETRONAS in Dayabumi Complex where the Malaysian Petroleum Club’s charter was written and approved by a pro tem committee headed by PETRONAS’ top brass, and subsequently approved by the General Meeting.
The Malaysian Petroleum Club has since moved and further established itself as a top-notch business networking avenue atop Level 41, 42 and 43 of Tower 2 PETRONAS Twin Towers, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
