Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah: Kayu Of The First Degree

So, Terengganu paid for all those wonderful monuments that Raja Bahrin said Mahathir had built. And Raja Bahrin praises Mahathir for robbing billions of Terengganu’s money to pay for his expensive monuments outside Terengganu. What a fooking idiot this Raja Bahrin is. Everyone in Terengganu is cursing Mahathir while Raja Bahrin praises him. Kayu!

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

The Member of Parliament for Kuala Terengganu, Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah Raja Ahmad, said that under Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak Terengganu is stagnant while under Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad Terengganu rapidly developed.

Raja Bahrin said Mahathir built so much — such as Putrajaya, the KLCC Twin Towers, KLIA, etc. — when he was Prime Minister. What Raja Bahrin did not mention is that Mahathir built all this using Terengganu’s money while in 2000 Mahathir cancelled Terengganu’s 5% Oil Royalty and denied the state development.

Raja Bahrin, jangan jadi kayu

This was what Free Malaysia Today reported on 10th April 2013.

It was oil money that financed the RM6 billion Petronas Twin Towers and the RM22 billion Putrajaya. In fact, oil-generated income, thanks to soaring crude oil prices in the past decade, was the only way we could have afforded the whopping RM135 billion increase in government operating expenditure in 2012 compared to 2000.

Terengganu found petroleum off its shores in 1973. From 1978 to 2000, it received a sum of RM7.13 billion in royalties. Not only does the state enjoy tremendous growth from federal government allocations and royalties, it also reaped economic benefits from the formation of petroleum townships.

However, royalty payments were stopped in 2000 during PAS government’s one-term tenure in the state. Under the constitutional clause allowing for discretionary payments from federal to state, a fraction of the due royalties known as “wang ehsan” (goodwill token) was paid instead through government agencies.

Mahathir stole billions of Terengganu’s money to pay for his lavish monuments
