"HIGH oil prices saw Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) report a bumper profit for its financial year ended March 31, but the national oil company's president and chief executive Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Marican stressed that skyrocketing prices was not the sole reason for the record-setting financial performance.
