Our oil and gas belongs to us, not to KL



We have been not articulate about oil kingship in siege though in the context of the rights of Sabah, Sarawak as well as Terengganu. So given is the Barisan Nasional so reluctant to give the aloft oil royalty? Why can't BN only say, "OK, you will additionally give you twenty percent kingship if you have been voted behind in to power"?
DANIEL JOHN JAMBUN
The approach you look during it, the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, has rubbed the emanate of increasing oil kingship really poorly, judging from the approach he made his remarks in Putatan upon Thursday.
He simply pronounced which (1) The direct for increasing kingship is only an antithesis gimmick, (2) It is another dull guarantee of the opposition, (3) 20% or even 50% kingship doesn't have mercantile clarity given during this turn of royalty, allocations to Sabah would have to be cut, (4) "Even their promises in the final choosing haven't been fulfilled," (5) The antithesis is additionally earnest to reduce petrol prices.
These have been really aged as well as boring rehashed answers which have been easy to rebut: The direct for increasing oil kingship is not the gimmick though something which will definitely be implemented when BN loses Putrajaya, so it won't be an dull guarantee when you win the election, as well as it makes the lot of mercantile clarity for Sabah, Sarawak as well as Terengganu given with which turn of kingship you won't even need any more sovereign allocation. The allocations you have been removing today have been in fact only crumbs compared to the outrageous amount you have been giving to the Federal Government every year, as well as which is upon top of the billions of annual taxes picked up from Sabah. We haven't over the promises in the final choosing given you didn't take ove! r Putraj aya yet.
How does Najib consider you can implement something which you betrothed "if the people vote BN out"? In fact it is the BN which failed to do the lot of promises as well as combined the lot of disaster given entrance to power so prolonged ago. you have listed these in my prolonged list of scandals as well as greedy abuses of the people's money by the hundreds of billions published in online portals underneath the pretension "Najib should clarify monetary scandals." you am still waiting for the reply.
The BN additionally needs to answer Raja Petra Kamarudin's really clever rationales upon the emanate which he had elaborated in Malaysia Today underneath the pretension "How East Malaysia as well as Terengganu were robbed of their wealth?" RPK's reasoning as well as logic about the whole thing is really simple. He writes: "both Barisan Nasional as well as Pakatan Rakyat have been currently deliberating how most Oil Royalty should be 'given' to those states which have oil as well as gas. How do you 'give' them something which already belongs to them in the initial place? Should not the word you make make use of of be 'take'? .The oil as well as gas already belongs to the states. This is what the Malaysian Agreement as well as the earlier Federation Agreement was all about. And, in which Agreement, it was agreed which all healthy resources would be the skill of the states. Water, timber, land, sand, minerals, etc., all go to the states. As do oil as well as gas. These have been what you call healthy resources. Hence they go 100% to the states, not 5% or 20% or 50% or whatever. In 1973, Barisan Nasional was launched as well as PAS became partial of the sovereign government. In 1974, the new ruling coalition in Parliament (where all the antithesis parties except DAP were right away members of) passed the Petroleum Development Act as well as the oil as well as gas were eliminated from the states to the sovereign government, meaning Petro! nas. To keep the states quiet, they were given 5% as the token 'Oil Royalty'.Now, if the sovereign supervision had power over oil as well as gas, given the need to pass the Petroleum Development Act in Parliament? Just take it! But they couldn't only take it. Oil as well as gas have been the skill of the states. So they needed to pass an Act of Parliament to legalize the bootleg takeover of state property."
Now, honest Datuk Seri, these have been really absolute statements which if wrong could land RPK in to the lot of trouble, substantially for treason. But if he is wrong, how come Putrajaya had not responded with the paint as well as cry about RPK being the liar or being seditious? Why? If it is loyal which Sabah, Sarawak as well as Terengganu have been deceived as well as robbed in extended illumination by the make make use of of of the Petroleum Development Act, the action should be amended or repealed for causing us great misapplication as well as monetary losses for so many decades.
Najib's evidence which the direct for aloft oil kingship is not creation mercantile clarity is pure nonsense because, implicitly it is the oil, the God-given resource as well as was betrothed to be us in the Malaysian Agreement. If the Federal Government wants partial of it afterwards the reasonable percentage should be left for Sabah to capacitate it to develop itself, not take roughly everything as well as leave 5 percent back, which is only crumbs. And articulate about 5 percent, how most is it really? How do you know which what you have been removing is really 5 percent of only 1 percent given the Petronas comment inform is ostensible to be confidential?
In the statement published upon February 15, you had pronounced which with the 50 percent royalty, Sabah won't even need any more development allocation for the Federal Government, given you would afterwards be means additionally to take care of not only the earthy development though! the hea lth, education, as well as even confidence needs as well. We would be carrying revenues in the tens of billions per year, so given would you have to beg from Kuala Lumpur? We would afterwards be carrying an annual bill of RM20 billion instead of the current RM4 billion which the BN leaders have been job "a outrageous budget"! If the Federal Government is worried which it would remove the little of the revenues it is right away collecting, afterwards how about the fact which Sabah is right away really poor given Kuala Lumpur is robbing the resources as well as taxes? Remember, it is not the box of us receiving money from the Federal Government, though the box of the Federal Government robbing us of what righteously belongs to us.
We have been not articulate about oil kingship in siege though in the context of the rights of Sabah, Sarawak as well as Terengganu. So given is the Barisan Nasional so reluctant to give the aloft oil royalty? Why can't BN only say, "OK, you will additionally give you twenty percent kingship if you have been voted behind in to power"? Maybe there is only the single reason: BN doesn't want Sabah to swell as well most given if it is as well developed it will overtake the Peninsular as well as KL will no longer be means to treat it similar to the beggar.
