 Oct 6: Having denied Kelantan its share of oil royalty for oil extracted from its territory, the Barisan Nasional government is now accused of hiding oil revenues from two oil fields.
Kelantan's State Petroleum Royalty Claims committee chairman Husam Musa said the state was not informed of oil and gas from 24 out of 32 oil fields in Bumi and Suria in Kelantan waters.
“Not only they keep denying the state oil royalty, in fact the state was not told of the latest revenue harvested.
"This is immoral because it amounts to robbing the state of its wealth,” he said.
 Husam (left), who is also the state Exco, said the Bumi and Suria oil fields were located only 35 minutes from Kelantan’s shore and belonged to the state.
“The Kelantanese need to know about this and they also need to know that Petronas and the Federal government have again denied them and the state government their rights.
They must also be informed that the immoral acts against the state government continue until today,” he added.
The PAS vice president however said he still hoped that the Federal government would pay the state, following the former's payment of RM936 million in oil royalty to Terengganu state government for 2011. |
