Dulu Minta Dikaji…

Kickdefella

… bila Jawatankuasa ditubuhkan untuk mengkaji, mereka tidak mahu pula kajian dibuat. Aneh sungguh.

“Pada 9 November 2009, saya mengatur satu pertemuan di antara YB Dato’ Husam Musa, YB Dr Hatta, YB Dzulkifli Ahmad dan YB Salahuddin Ayub dengan YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah di Langgak Golf. YB Salahuddin Ayub tinggalkan Langgak Golf sebelum mesyuarat bermula untuk kembali ke Parlimen….”

Penentangan terhadap penubuhan Jawatankuasa Khas bagi mengkaji Bayaran Tunai Petroleum dikalangan pihak pembangkang dan kuncu-kuncunya jelas membuktikan mereka sebenarnya tidak faham langsung apa yang mereka tuntut. Mereka terus menuntut pemberian royalti sedangkan mereka tidak tahupun bahawa perkataan ROYALTI itupun tidak pernah wujud di dalam suratcara yang ditandatangani oleh Kerajaan negeri Kelantan dan PETRONAS.

September 9, 2012

Guess what topic related to O&G is hot on the political bucket lists nowadays? Puchong wants it petroleum royalties, sorry wang ehsan as well.

Dateline 2012-08-23:

Maverick politician Jeffrey Kitingan warned the ruling Umno-BN state government not to use Sabah’s oil riches as an election gimmick to gain favour with the electorate.

He said the “so-called review will test the sincerity” of the federal government and the Sabah leaders as well as the “extent of the federal-state relationship.”

“If Musa is truly a Sabahan at heart, this is the most opportune time to not only seek a review but to demand and negotiate a new deal for Sabah’s oil and gas resources for the benefit of Sabah and its future.

September 6, 2012

Dateline 2012-08-17:

The Malaysian oil storage terminal at Pengerang in the southern state of Johor is on track for a planned January 2014 start-up after the completion of land reclamation work and the commencement of work on jetties, a spokesman for the terminal operator said Friday.
