Kelantan will sue Petronas on oil royalty issue

Datuk Husam Musa, the state executive councilor of Kedah said that the state government will be suing national oil and gas company Petronas this coming August 30 for failing to pay them the oil royalty owed to them. He said that the executive council made the decision during its meeting in Kota Bahru yesterday where they discussed the action to take against Petronas which the state had demanded for 5% of oil royalty from the federal government for oil extracted off the shore of the state.

He said “Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat will be present for the filing of the suit and he will later perform prayer of needs at the Federal Territory Mosque. The state government decided to file the suit on August 30 in the spirit of Merdeka, which is being celebrated the following day. The meeting only discussed the terms that should be mentioned in the suit. We did not discuss the amount, that is up to the court,”

go for your rights

THE STATE GOVT KELANTAN IS JUSTIFIED FOR BRINGING UP THIS TO THE HIGH COURT ......KELANTAN HAS THE RIGHTS TO THE CLAIM AS SAID BY KU LI, THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR DRAFTING THE PETROLEUM ACT WHEN HE WAS THE FINANCE MINISTER AT THAT TIME.

MOREOVER,KU LI HAS VOICED OUT HIS OPINION THAT KELANTAN HAS THE RIGHT TO THE CLAIM. THEREFORE,GO FOR YOUR RIGHTS.

UMNO CANNOT BE TRUSTED FOR ANYTHING !!
