‘RM12b oil royalty unreasonable’

April 26, 2013

From the NST, dateline 2013-04-03:

Kelantan govt’s claim involves technical matters, says PM’s Office

KUALA LUMPUR: THE Kelantan government’s RM12 billion petroleum royalty demand is not only unreasonable from the legal standpoint but also concerns technicalities related to activities for oil and gas extraction in the area concerned.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), in a statement issued yesterday, said Kelantan, just as Terengganu and all other states in Peninsular Malaysia, only had rights to demand petroleum royalty if extraction of oil and gas was done not more than three nautical miles from the low tide line or the shore of the state concerned.

The government does not want to have a say in the decision-making process.

“A few months ago, I decided that all the tenders be decided by the board’s wisdom … I don’t want to make the decision,” Najib said during a townhall session with Petronas staff yesterday.
