JELI: Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee chairman Mustapa Mohamed said today only the party’s Supreme Council could determine the action to be taken against Gua Musang Umno chief Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah (picture) for making a stand contrary to the Federal Government’s on the payment of oil royalty to Kelantan.
“It is not within the jurisdiction of the Kelantan Umno,” he said. “Only the Supreme Council can decide on the action to be taken against Tengku Razaleigh.”
Mustapa, who is International Trade and Industry Minister, was asked whether Kelantan Umno would act against Tengku Razaleigh for having said on Thursday that the Kelantan state government should be given oil royalty instead of a compassionate payment.
Following that statement, Prime Minister and Umno President Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the party leadership would scrutinise the speech Tengku Razaleigh made at a gathering at the Sultan Mohammed IV Stadium in Kota Baharu.
At a meeting with the Pasir Puteh Umno division last night, Mustapa said the Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee would meet Najib to propose projects to be financed by compassionate fund.
Mustapa had said recently that the Federal Government would provide RM20 million in compassionate payment to Kelantan, which was five per cent of the 2008 revenue from oil and gas production off the Kelantan shore.
