S’wak to discuss oil royalty review with federal govt


Dateline 2012-08-20:

The state government will discuss the need to review the current 5% petroleum royalty paid to Sarawak with the federal government based on the prevailing close relationship and goodwill between both sides, Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud said today.

Concurring that state leaders from both sides of the political divide had struck a common ground on the issue, he said, both sides needed to sit down and discuss the matter, especially following the recent announcement by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak that a special committee was being set up to study the petroleum royalty to East Coast states.

    It’s a con job to review anything, just spin and spunk.

    Why just Sarawak, what about Sabah, kelate, Terengganu etc?

    If Sarawak gets say 30% what will Kelate be like?

    This is a lot fcuking nonsense of a neo-fascist government.

      Borneo: from Mr. Wiki: Neo-fascism is a post–World War II ideology that includes significant elements of fascism. The term neo-fascist may apply to groups that express a specific admiration for Benito Mussolini and Italian Fascism or any other fascist leader/state. Neo-fascism usually includes palingenetic ultranationalism, populism, anti-immigration policies or, where relevant, nativism, anti-communism, and opposition to the parliamentary system and liberal democracy….

      At which point does 30% equate to a neo-fascist government?
