My Brief Notes On Anwar Ibrahim's Promise Of 20% Oil Royalty To Sabah




  • Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been quoted which he would enlarge Sabah oil kingship from 5% to 20%.

  • Other antithesis leaders similar to Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan went even serve by earnest 50%. But in order to achieve this, Dr Jeffrey has to depend upon Dato Seri Anwar's support.

  • As an MP Sabah we do not have any reason to reject such smashing proposal.More income for Sabah is obviously good for us.

  • Unfortunately, we am also painfully aware which Anwar has not been entirely forthcoming in his proposal.

  • In Parliament, we acted a question which if Anwar increasing Sabah's kingship to 20%,could he pledge which he would not revoke Sabah's existent commission of grant in his sovereign bill for 2013 or in a Eleventh Malaysia Plan?

  • I reminded a antithesis which Sabah had been consistently since biggest percentages of grant by a sovereign supervision both in a Malaysia Plans as well as a annual budget.

  • For example Sabah perceived RM20.3bil out of RM230bil as well as in First Rolling Plan of RMK10, Sabah perceived RM10.7bil out of RM98.5bil.

  • My regard is, whilst Datuk Seri Anwar might enlarge Sabah's share of a royalty, he also might have to revoke Sabah grant in a 11th Malaysia Plan.

  • We might finish up a same of even worse off! That is because we asked for a guarantee. No! ne of a antithesis MP during which time stood up to reply to my argument.

  • Increases in kingship for Sabah, Sarawak, Trengganu as well as Kelantan would easily amount to some-more than RM10bil a year. (Sarawak as well as Trengganu furnish some-more oil than Sabah).

  • Dato Seri Anwar knows really well which a additional RM10bil since to a 4 oil producing states meant RM10bil have to be taken away from a bill of other states in West Malaysia.

  • I do not think Dato Seri Anwar dares to contend to a people from a non-oil producing states, "I am sorry, we have to cut your grant because we need to give RM10bil to Trengganu, Kelantan, Sarawak as well as Sabah!".

  • The people there will reject him. This is unaccetable to him since he needs their votes desperately to win Putrajaya.

  • It is really likely which Sabah might be getting aloft oil kingship though in a finish will get lower overall supports from Federal Government under Dato Seri Anwar Prime Ministership.

  • So distant he has not since Sabahans a pledge which it will not happen!

  • For each ringgit since to Sabah, Sarawak, Trengganu as well as Kelantan, which a single ringgit contingency come from somebody.

  • The income does not tumble from a sky.

  • Some states contingency be peaceful to sacrifice their portion of a sovereign budget. Some projects in West Malaysia contingency be cancelled. The question is who as well as what needs to be sacrificed?

  • Or will Dato S! eri Anwa r outlay reduction upon security, health, education, infrastructure, open utilities, amicable etc since a actuality he has to outlay some-more upon royalty?

  • Dato Seri Anwar contingency answer these difficult questions so which people understand as well as convinced.

  • Remember, Anwar wants to maintain subsidies, refuses to enlarge taxes, is opposite aloft government's debt as well as proposes spending some-more upon royalties. How in a world is he going to juggle these finances?

  • And Sabahans still remember how Anwar as Finance Minister as well as Deputy Prime Minister consistently refused PBS' ask for aloft royalty.

  • Pakatan Rakyat has also said which a "savings" or "proceeds" in billions from their anti-corruption drive as well as renegotiation double back sided deals will be used to financial a enlarge in royalty.

  • Yes we have listened which too. As someone who sits in MACC committee, we hope they will succeed. Any bid to abolish crime contingency be supported as well as encouraged. we am sure Sabahans share a same view as mine.

  • But my regard is not about a bid to check corruption. It is some-more about Dato Seri Anwar's rationale of together with "savings from crime expulsion as well as renegotiating double back sided deals" as partial of his government's revenue.

  • Can Dato Seri Anwar estimate how most yearly assets he gets from anti-corruption effort? Can he absolutely project such income with a tall level of correctness as well as use a figure to plan his budget?

  • Can Dato Seri Anwar force those IPPs as well as! highway fee concessionaires to renegotiate their agreements immediately after he swears in as Prime Minister? Or will he face enlarged as well as protracted conflict which could take years to settle?

  • If yes, will his bill income projections tumble short as well as as a result disturb his spending plans?

  • I have never listened any supervision in this world using projected assets from crime as a basement of preparing a inhabitant budget. That is definitely irresponsible. The bill will be in a mess.

  • Any "savings" due anti crime drive should be construed as bonus, not to be enclosed in a estimating government's revenue.

  • So when Dato Seri Anwar says he will financial a kingship enlarge from crime expulsion savings, a single has to be worried.

  • My take is he will have to in a future cut allocations meant for other states in Malaysia or otherwise cut alllocations to critical sectors similar to education, rural infrastructure, illness as well as security. Either way a non-oil producing states as well as Malaysians in general, deserve to know a facts.
