DAP Sabah challenges Musa Aman to announce the quantum and date of implementation of new oil royalty increment.
DAP Sabah is doubtful on the sincerity on the part of Musa Aman, Chief Minister of Sabah when he announced that the review on the oil royalty is open for discussion with the federal government.
DAP Sabah Chief Jimmy Wong said Musa has a short memory because it was only few days ago that he publicly described the increment of oil royalty as “irrational”.
Jimmy Wong added that the move by Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud to review the oil royalty with the Federal government recently could be the main reason in Musa’s about turn on the oil royalty.
It is a political gamble for Musa Aman but in this case (oil royalty) he is showing to the people of his poor quality as a political leader. He (Musa) does not have the gut to “rock the boat” even if the issue is very important to the people of Sabah. Taib Mahmud has taken the lead.
Jimmy who is Sri Tanjung Assemblyman however congratulates Musa for finally coming to be realistic in as far as the oil royalty is concerned. Jimmy reminds Musa that Pakatan Rakyat has agreed to increase the oil royalty from 5% to 20% when it assumes power in Putrajaya. How much can Musa get from the BN government and how far will Musa pursue this matter?
Jimmy said he would like to remind Musa and the BN government to quickly announce and implement the oil royalty increment before the 13th general election. He added that if there is any credibility in his announcement then the announcement on the quantum and date of implementation must be made before the general election. - Sabahkini
Apa salahnya juga kalau ada perbincangan untuk semak semula tentang kadar royalti minyak. sekurang-kurangnya rakyat pun boleh bagi pendapat mereka.
ReplyDeleteThis is not the demand of just one person but all Sabahans. However, we will leave it to the central leadership to make a decision. Let the decision be a ‘win-win’ situation that will benefit the people of Sabah and the Malaysian government
DeleteApa pun yang penting sekarang ini Datuk Musa sedang membuat perbincangan untuk meminta royalti minyak ini dikaji semula.
Deleteharga barangan sekarang pun telah meningkat sudah lama royalti 5% ini digunakan mungkin sudah sampai masa disemak semula bagi mengikut perkembangan semasa.
Deletepembangkang pasti akan menipulasikan hal ini untuk kelirukan rakyat lagi.
DeleteSTAR dan PR masing2 tidak mahu kalah dengan janji mereka untuk naikkan kadar royalti. kalau perkara tu mudah sangat sudah pasti kerajaan sekarang sudah laksanakan perkara tu.
ReplyDeleteChief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman believes that the State's five per cent petroleum royalty review issue is open for amicable discussions with the Federal Government.
ReplyDeleteHe said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was a caring leader who was always prepared to listen to the people and their needs.
DeleteMusa, who is also State Finance Minister, said the good relationship between the State and Federal governments also benefited Sabahans through large allocations which helped to propel the State forward.
DeleteTherefore, the issue of petroleum royalty is open for discussion and what's important is that we scrutinise the matter and reach the best decision for the mutual benefit of all concerned.
DeleteHe was speaking to reporters after the Papar Umno Aidilfitri open house hosted by the constituency's Member of Parliament, Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin, Kawang Assemblyman Datuk Ghulam Haidar Khan and Pantai Manis Assemblyman Datuk Rahim Ismail, at the Papar Community Hall.
DeleteSarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud was quoted as saying the State Government would discuss the need to review the five per cent petroleum royalty paid to Sarawak, with the Federal Government.
DeleteAdmitting that State Government and opposition leaders in the State have reached a consensus on the issue, Taib said both parties needed to meet and discuss the matter.
DeleteEarly this month, Najib announced that a special committee would be set up to study the petroleum royalty payments involving the eastern states of Peninsula Malaysia, in a fair and transparent manner.
DeleteThe committee was given six months to study the issue before submitting its proposals to the Federal Government.
DeleteMeanwhile, MCA Sabah fully supports the State Government's intention to pursue an increase in the oil royalty for Sabah.
DeleteSabah Puteri Umno supports the review of the 5% oil royalty to Sabah saying that it was high time as the treaty was signed more than 4 decades ago. the government needed to review the royalty in the best interest of Sabahans.
ReplyDeleteAntara alasan yang paling kerap digunakan oleh Pakatan Rakyat untuk mereka mendapat tempat di hati rakyat Sabah dan negeri2 yang terdapatnya minyak adalah dengan menggambarkan Pakatan Rakyat mampu mengubah senario dan pelbagai masalah yang sebelum ini telah diperbesar2kan..
ReplyDeleteHelah yang paling berkesan dan membuatkan mata terbeliak besar dan hati berbunga kembang ialah apabila jaminan 20% royalti minyak akan diberikan kepada negeri2 minyak yang berpindah dari Barisan Nasional kepada Pakatan Rakyat sekiranya Pakatan Rakyat diberikan mandat untuk menguasai Putrajaya.. namun Pakatan Rakyat gagal menjelaskan secara terperinci bagaimana mereka mampu memberikan 20% itu dengan mengambil kira kos carigali Petronas dan juga kos subsidi minyak..
ReplyDeletelangkah kerajaan mengkaji semula royalti minyak sabah membuktikan kesungguhan kerajaan pimpinan Najib dala memenuhi tuntutan2 rakyat sebelum ini.. tidak mustahil royalti ini mampu ditingkatkan tetapi ianya tetap berdasarkan kemampuan Petronas dengan mengambil kira pembahagian seperti berikut; 5% diserahkan kepada Kerajaan Negeri, 5% lagi diserahkan kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan, 30% untuk syarikat minyak nasional, manakala 60% diambil untuk kos carigali minyak..
ReplyDeletesamada pengumuman berkenaan perubahan royalti ini dibuat cepat atau lambat, pembangkang akan tetap tampil dengan kenyataan2 yang mempertikaikan hasrat kerajaan ini.. oleh itu, eloklah kerajaan bincangkan saja perkara ini sebaik2nya tanpa dipengaruhi oleh desakan mana2 pihak yang mahu pengumuman dibuat secepat yang mungkin sebelum PRU13..
