Ku Li’s statements puzzling – Muhyiddin

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, the deputy prime minister said that he is surprised and puzzled by the statements made by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah who recently made some controversial statements about the oil royalty issue concerning the Kelantan state saying that Razaleigh’s actions and statements contradicts with the government’s decision on the issue. He said “”Tengku Razaleigh (Ku Li) who is the Gua Musang Umno Division chairman had also met Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak regarding the matter. I was informed that he, (Tengku Razaleigh) met the Prime Minister but cannot understand why he is continuing with such action.

His actions are as if he is the only one fighting for the rights of the Kelantan people and that the Federal government does not have any consideration," Umno had recently ‘advertised’ the explanation over the issue in Malay newspapers where Ku Li said that the actions were an insult to intelligence. Muhyiddin added that “The Kelantan Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders had briefed and clarified the oil royalty issue and such process would continue. We will not stop because they have taken action from the political point....we are taking steps to explain the actual situation.

Many Kelantanese, including professionals and the educated, agree and accept that the decision by the government to channel compassionate payment was a correct move and was not against the law. Umno is studying the action and statements made by Tengku Razaleigh, although they were done in his personal capacity. We will monitor the situation...he will finally realize. This is not about victimizing the people of Kelantan or anybody else. We are providing clarification based on the actual rights. If they considered our action is against the law, we told them to take the matter to court. But according to PAS Secretary-General Datuk Mustapa Ali, such an action will not be taken. So, they just want to politicize an issue that had already been clarified from the legal aspect...we will not do anything that contradicts the law. So, I hope the people of Kelantan understand, just like in Terengganu...the government was considerate to offer the payment and it is not about oil royalty. We do not use the word royalty. We have explained the compassionate term. We offered help based on compassion and the people must accept the clarification as the truth,"

When a man stands up for justice then the GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE does not like it.Tengku Razaliegh should quit UMNO and join PR.This time I am sure a large majority of the 95% decent ,moderate and GOD fearing members will follow him because he is standing up for justice and religious principlesof fair play.The 5% UMNO ultras will not have a foot to stand on then.This is an Islamic country to quote Mahathir Mohammad and I am sure the true followers of Islam will not coddle these power crazy ultras


Muhyid said that he is surprised and puzzled by Ku Li's statements. Well because Muhyid doesnt know how to read and his IQ is only 80 .
