Oil royalty settlement: PKR drills for details


Yeah, we want to know. But no, you don’t have to explain to voters.

Dateline 2012-04-24:

PKR today called on Putrajaya to disclose details behind the settlement reached between Terengganu and Petronas after the former dropped its legal suit against the national oil company in a longstanding oil royalty row.

Party secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution said the Barisan Nasional-controlled state must explain to its voters what were the benefits received from the out-of-court agreement to disprove assumptions that their right to oil royalty was determined by political discretion.
