KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's state energy firm Petronas on Friday said it has withdrawn from Blocks M12, M13 and M14 located in the Yetagun field offshore Myanmar.

Its statement did not mention the turmoil in Myanmar since the military seized power in a coup last year and brutally cracked down on protests as a reason for the withdrawal.
