The oil belongs to the people; not government nor Petronas. they are merely custodian, or pemegang amanah. the time has come.. the oil revenues must be returned to the people in part (though not in full) for their well-being & prosperity.
Umno/BN Govt can no longer deny this; it is a fact known by everyone. they cannot continue to decieve, mislead & discriminate Kelantan (or any other oil producing states) from the rights specified under the agreements & Constitution. Such discrimination act is tantamount to treason; or betrayal to the national interest & the people.
Nik Aziz is so right for the ‘doa’ of the year – for the Almighty God to severe & destroy the black-hearted Prime Minister Najib & his cronies for intentionally discriminating Kelantanese & making fool of them with wang ehsan.
What is this wang ehsan? there is no such thing as wang ehsan anywhere in the agreements not even in the Constitution. Umno ‘creates’ this wang ehsan purposely to humilate Kelantanese, as if they are begging for their own rights.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this famous ‘doa’. Kelantan over the years under Pas-led Govt has been intensely surpressed & heavily marginalised by Federal Govt. Terengganu suffered once we know, but for Kelantan is like forever. Najib is seen so ill-intent when he unashamedly betray the interest of the two millions Kelantanese.
Tengku Razaleigh and Pakatan Rakyat (PR) have been campaigning hard to force the federal government to pay oil royalties as claimed by the state.
Tengku Razaleigh, who founded Petronas, had earlier this week rubbished attempts by the federal government to explain, through newspaper advertisements, its refusal to pay the Kelantan government oil royalties.
He said that even though all of the oil found in Malaysia was located more than three nautical miles offshore, Petronas had nevertheless been making oil payments to various states.
The federal government’s main argument is that oil and gas are extracted from waters that are beyond the three-nautical mile limit prescribed as territorial waters under Malaysia’s Emergency Ordinance (Essential Powers) No. 7 1969.
But the Kelantan Umno man has pointed out that by that argument, Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak should also be deprived of a 5 per cent oil royalty.
Mahathir and Najib administration ignoring the promise made 35 years ago by former Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein in denying oil royalty payments to Kelantan.
Nik Aziz also challenged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to honour the promise made by his father and not to defend Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s mistake of revoking the oil royalty payment.
“Is Datuk Seri Najib Razak, the sixth Prime Minister, the son of Razak the second Prime Minister or the heir of Tun Mahathir, the fourth Prime Minister on the oil royalty controversy?”.
“Najib should demonstrate that he is Razak’s son and not Mahathir’s heir on this issue to restore justice to the states, whose fundamental state rights have suffered insidious erosion in the past few decades.
A man is what he says. It simply reflects how shallow this govt is in keeping promises to the rakyat. There is no value in their words. It is a sick country ruled by sick politicians.
With all these clear laws and question in Parliment, if the Federal Govt. is denying payment that show how this country is rule by the B.N. the last 50 odd years. Time has come for us to change the Federal govt. without a second thought. Pakatan Rakyat in power in GE13.
