/The Malaysian Insider reported that the anti-Shia campaign by Putrajaya had taken its toll on the countrys economy, costing the government millions of ringgit in losses, and forcing a minister to seek help from a PAS leader to restore ties between the two nations. Dr Syed Azman Ahmad Nawawi, who heads PASs international bureau, said a minister had sought his assistance on the matter, saying Irans reaction to the anti-Shia campaign has cost Malaysia dearly. The biggest loser is Petronas whose oil exploration in Iran has been met with hurdles from the Iranian government, while at the same time, American firms such as Esso and Conoco are making their way into the country, added Syed Azman./ themalaysianinsider/malaysia/article/iranian-traders-boycott-malaysian-goods-over-umnos-anti-shia-campaign
