The brief is expected to look at ways of informing ordinary Malaysians - many of whom blame Petronas for the recent fuel price hikes - of the role the company plays in Malaysian society.
One source involved in the review commented: "Petronas earns billions in profits, and Malaysians are frustrated that this money is not being used to keep the price of fuel down."
