Flesh out pledged Sarawak oil royalty hike, Putrajaya told


Dateline 2014-06-03, Malay Mail:

Putrajaya must set a deadline to discuss revising royalty payment for oil-producing states to demonstrate the sincerity of the prime minister’s pledge to consider increasing the quantum, Sarawak PKR vice-chairman See Chee How said today.

See told a press conference at the state PKR headquarters here that verbal assurance alone was not enough, and that such an increase must not come in the form of development grants as these were already the federal government’s obligation.
