(Harakah Daily) - Menteri Besar Kelantan, Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat sekali lagi akan menghantar satu surat kepada Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak meminta agar satu rundingan diadakan supaya kerajaan pusat menukar pemberian wang ehsan kepada royalti.

Sebelum ini, perkara sama dilakukan Nik Aziz sewaktu kali pertama menuntut bayaran royalti negeri itu.

Exco Kerajaan Negeri, Datuk Husam Musa ketika memaklumkan perkara itu optimis Najib akan membayar royalti berkenaan setelah berunding dengan kerajaan negeri.

Beliau juga yakin keputusan Najib untuk memberikan wang ehsan kepada rakyat Kelantan adalah disebabkan tekanan daripada puak Barisan Nasional di negeri itu yang tidak mahu royalti diberikan kepada rakyatnya.

“Saya yakin Datuk Najib selepas berunding dengan kerajaan Kelantan akan tetap membayar royalti kepada negeri.

"Sekarang saya yakin Najib hanya lakukan satu step pertama (bagi) mengendurkan tekanan politik daripada orang-orang politik Kelantan yang menghendaki bayaran itu tidak dilakukan.

"Ini permainan politik semata-mata, ia bukan berasas kepada undang-undang,” tegasnya dalam sidang media di lobi parlimen siang tadi.

Beliau hadir parlimen hari ini bagi mendengar sendiri penggulungan perbahasan pada peringkat Jabatan Perdana Menteri oleh Menterinya, Tan Sri Nor Ya’kub mengenai perkara ini.

Beliau berkata, isu  tiga batu nautika untuk melayakkan negeri pengeluar mendapat royalti adalah satu hujah yang tidak berasas kerana syarat itu tidak termaktub dalam Akta Petroleum 1974.

“Beliau akan sentuh semula mengenai royalti dan satu hujah yang digunakan (ialah ) ialah tiga batu nautika yagn tidak ada dalam mana-mana undang-undang. Kalau kita tengok undang-undang negara kita, yang ada hanyalah dua belas batu nautika. Tapi akta petroleum mengatasi segala undang-undang,” katanya.

Beliau meminta perbahasan akta petroleum di Dewan Rakyat pada November 1975 oleh Ketua Menteri Sarawak ketika itu Tun Rahman Yaakob dirujuk kembali.

Tun Rahman ketika itu menekankan dua unsur penting dalam akta petroleum 1974.

“Bahawa beliau menekankan akta itu mempunyai dua unsur penting.Yang pertama kuasa petroleum sebelum akta ini adalah terletak di bidang kuasa negeri-negeri, sejak sebelum kita menyertai Malaysia dan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu.

"Negeri Kelantan sama seperti Sarawak, (iaitu) negeri berdaulat dan mempunyai kuasa di atas petroleum dan kuasa ini hanya boleh diserahkan melalui satu perjanjian, dan perjanjian adalah mengikut akta 1974,” jelasnya.

Unsur yang kedua pula jelasnya adalah selepas negeri meyerahkan hak ini, adalah menjadi tanggungjawab petronas membayar pampasan dalam bentuk wang tunai.

“Adalah menjadi tanguungjawab petronas dalam bentuk ‘cash payment’, bukan royalti, bukan wang ehsan.ia mesti dalam bentuk tunai dan dibayar kepada negeri pengeluar.

Beliau turut menyebut mengenai jawapan Perdana Menteri ketika itu, Tun Abdul Razak kepada soalan ahli parlimen Lim Kit Siang iaitu:

“Tuan Yang di Pertua, Mengikut Perjanjian itu, tiap-tiap negeri akan menerima 5% daripada nilai petroliam yang dijumpai dan diperolehi dalam kawasan perairan atau di luar perairan negeri tersebut, yang dijual oleh PETRONAS ataupun ejensi-ejensi ataupun kontrektor-kontrektornya.

Tegasnya, kerajaan negeri bukan sekadar ingin menuntut wang yang sememangnya menjadi hak rakyatnya namun apa yang lebih penting adalah ketelusan kerajaan persekutuan dalam membela kebajikan rakyat.

Beliau turut mempersoal mengenai laporan tahunan petronas yang tidak pernah dibentangkan di parlimen.

“Kenapa petronas tidak boleh membentangkan di parlimen penyata petroleum di seluruh negara.Berapa pengeluaran setiap telaga pada setiap tahun dan berapa nilai pengeluaran tersebut. dan kedudukan tiap-tiap telaga termasuk bumi selatan yang disebut perdana menteri akan dibayar kepada Kelantan dalam bentuk wang ehsan,” soalnya.

Sehubungan itu, beliau menegaskan, kerajaan negeri akan terus memperjuangkan tuntutan ke atas royalty demi keadilan rakyat Malaysia.

Beliau juga berkata, kerajaan negeri akan memperhebat kempen mengenai isu ini bagi memberikan kesedaran kepada rakyat mengenai hak mereka.

Those people in UMNO/BN and Petronas who are against paying royalty due to the people of Kelantan should realize that everyday they're using up what is due to the people of Kelantan they're using things that are 'HARAM'. So, enjoy your wealth, your big houses, your good food and drinks. Those things are only temporary.

Yes, fight for the oil royalty. The Kelantan state government and her people have every right to have access to the oil royalty. Stop denying them of this right. Datuk Husam Musa is absolutely right in hitting out at Petronas which until today does not practise transparency as part of good corporate governance.

when it comes to cronies (IPP's, highway concessions, AP's etc) and PKFZ, the agreement is upheld according to the LAW.
When it come to the rakyat, they ruling elites make their own law to suit their whims and fancies.

the 1974 PA agreement was signed between petronas and the states. What has PM got anything to do with this deal?
Tengku razaliegh is responsible for creating the PA, which involves giving away 95% of their oil and gas rights to petronas, and the states are crazy enough to agree to this deal.
The act, like many others, has created a bloated federal govenrment administration, which stifles the power of the states and municipalities. Even cities cannot elect their own mayor.
