Had the oil and gas of Sabah not been swindled away by the Barisan Nasional federal government, today her people probably would not have to endure the agony of having to line up for hours and hopping from one gas station to another for diesel.

It is a shameful reality that 95% of our oil and gas was illegally taken away from us.

Why do we say it was illegally taken away?
