“Will Sabah DAP led Sabah Pakatan and ask for 50% oil revenue for Sabah and more particularly demand for 50% if and when Pakatan forms the next federal government” asked Dr. Felix Chong Kat Fah of STAR Sabah.
“Similarly, will the Sabah BN ask for 50% of the oil revenue for Sabah?”
“As part of STAR Sabah’s causes and aspirations for Sabah, STAR is seeking an increase of the oil revenue to 50% nett revenue. It is set out in STAR’s Petroleum Masterplan which is comprehensive and covers a wide range of policies for Sabah’s oil and gas beneficial to Sabah and Sabahans.”
An increase from 5% to 50% will bring in an additional amount of about RM7.0 billion a year for Sabah. It will definitely help Sabahans and alleviate if not eliminate poverty in Sabah.
The additional RM7.0 billion will be proof that Sabah is not the poorest not just mere election gimmick and sweeping statement Iike what the PM has said without providing any concrete evidence.
Mind you, when the World Bank announced in 2010 that not only Sabah was the poorest but also 40% of all poor in Malaysia was found in Sabah and Labuan, it was after research done by the world body. It was not a sweeping statement without proof.
With its oil and gas, Sabah should be the second richest if not the richest.
It is an insult to Sabahans to say, and not even proven, that Sabah is richer than Kelantan who are not even given their oil revenue.
As for the RM4.5 billion Sabah Ammonia Urea (SAMUR) Project in Sipitang, all the profits will be going to Petronas leaving nothing except left-over crumbs as so-called “spin-off”. It is not as though Sabah has at least 30%-50% profit sharing.
If the left-over crumbs are trumpeted as great “spin-offs” and is the way how Sabah as an oil-producing State is to be treated by the BN government, it will be no surprise if Sabah remains the poorest.
Sabah as a State is not poor, only the majority of the people are poor and only a few well-connected are rich.
STAR Sabah’s vision for Sabah’s oil and gas is just but one of the reasons why I joined STAR to fight for Sabah’s rights and autonomy. Every patriotic Sabahan should support STAR’s cause to fight for Sabah and Sabahans and their future generations.
../2-
Does Sabah DAP and Sabah Pakatan show such vision and plan? If so, why only ask for increase of oil revenue to 20% and not 50% or more and be better than STAR?
Sabah BN definitely are too cowered by sub-servience to their political masters in the Peninsular and have no political will or the spine to ask for any increase, not even 20%. If any statement is made, it will be mere lip service and election gimmick like what PBS, Upko and LDP leaders have said on the RCI.
Dr. Felix Chong Kat Fah, STAR Sabah
Good thinking Dr.
ReplyDeleteHope more Sabah Chinese will wake up and support STAR's fight to claim back Sabah's rights.
INI KALI LAH!
Sabah deserves it, we should be getting that much.,
DeleteDEMAND 100% RETURN OF OUR OIL & GAS PLUS COMPENSATION FOR PAST LOOTING OF OIL WITH COMPOUNDED INTERESTS!
ReplyDeleteSabah BN definitely are too cowered by sub-servience to their political masters in the Peninsular and have no political will or the spine to ask for any increase, not even 20%
Yes agree with you Felix!
Demand nothing short of our independence!
It's ridiculous to ask that much and you know it. Please be logical. Thanks.
DeleteWhy illogical? Natural resources belongs to Sabah, its up to Sabah how much it will give to others! All stolen things must be return to the rightful owner.
Delete"With its oil and gas, Sabah should be the second richest if not the richest."
ReplyDeleteIF SO - Why do we need to be ruled by Malaya as colony?
Why can't we just be an independent Sabah?
Because Sabah has to depend on Petronas to harvest and process our oil for all these years and till this day we still do not have our own local company to handle this.
Deletehas to depend on Petronas? if so then why not we just establish our own oil company? with this we will not depending on petronas anymore...and all our oil and gas will be ours..
DeleteUnder STAR Sabah's masterplan, PETROSABAH CORPORATION will be establish to lead Sabah's oil and gas industry. Now, SAMUR by Petronas and they get all the profits.
DeleteUnder STAR Petrosabah will takeover the lead role and profits will go to Sabah not Petronas.
INI KALI LAH!
Ask STAR to fight for independence then and make declaration of independence in the media if they dare.This is a challenge from me.STAR should not try to deceive and hoodwink Sabahans.STAR can fool the fools but not all Sabahans are fools,
DeleteNo problem as long as you vote and support STAR to take over the State Government this coming GE13 first. Anak Petagas Ok ?
DeleteSabah would be better if the previous leaders were not corrupted, right?
DeleteSupport Anak Petagas for requesting Star to state their stand in the media regarding their fight for Sabah independence.
DeleteOrang ini sudah kena cuci otak nya oleh JK dan sekarang cakap sudah tidak menentu.20% pun belum kena layan tapi sudah pula naik 50%.Kenapa tidak STAR bertanding saja di kawasan seluruh negara dan jadi kerajaan pusat.Masa itu belum tau pun Sabah kena kasi 50%.Tolong jangan cuba perbodoh dan memperdayakan rakyat Sabah dengan propaganda politik murahan ini.Kalau lah sendiri itu lol jangan pula rakyat terheret.
ReplyDeleteIni kah pemimpin seperti rosak mental'screw-loose' yang di tampilkan oleh STAR?
Star ni minta byk2 untuk jadi hero kepada Sabah kunun.. padahal mereka mmg tau mereka tak boleh lakukan.
Deletemcm Star kata mereka tak perlukan peruntukan dari persekutuan, satu idea tidak masuk akal, Sabah tetap perlukan peruntukan dari persekutuan. apa guna bayar cukai jika tak dpt apa2 peruntukan.
DeleteSabah is one of the equal partners of Malaysia and we still deserves the federal allocations whether or not the oil royalties are raised or not.
DeleteAP, kalo kau anak jati Sabah dan sokong UMNO, minta UMNO kasi naik 20% kah, 50% kah atau lebih.
DeleteBukan baitu lebih baik drpd 5% sekarang dan baik utk Sabah.
Kalo anak jati Sabah tidak berjiwa rakyat Sabah,
hancorlah kita di Sabah.
Fikir2 sebelum terus buta sokong UMNO sja
memang Sabah berhak untuk mendapatkan 50% kadar royalti tapi mampukah untuk naik sebanyak tu sedangkan tuntutan 20% yang dibuat pun tidak tercapai.
Delete20% pun ada kesukaran untuk dicapai, apa lagi 50%, 70% ataupun 100%. Permintaan dan perjanjian yang sukar dilaksanakan.
DeleteIni anak PATAI dari petagas selalu cakap yang tidak masuk akal, memang lawak..
Deleteeven STAR need to refer to the federal government if they managed to form a new government in this state.. that's mean, they promises given to the people in this state still need to be agreed by the minister in federal..
ReplyDeletenothing more than sweet promises then..
DeleteThings will be complicated. Easy to say rather than accomplishing it.
DeleteINI KALI LAH!
ReplyDeletewhy only 50%? we should get 100%...
ReplyDeleteKalau duuuuulu mungkin bolehlah. Tapi tidak tahulah apa yang pemimpin dulu fikir sampai sanggup terima 5% saja. Sekarang mahu minta naik 1% pun susah.
Deleteask the previous leaders especially the leaders who involved in making the agreement.
DeleteSenang saja mahu minta, senang saja boleh janji, tapi bila melaksanakannya baru terfikir faktor ini, faktor itu...
Deletewhat makes Star is better than BN/PR?
ReplyDeleteNothing better;
DeleteNothing will be better if the politicians inherit the same "gene" which is corruption.
DeleteSTAR is still new. we can't see anything yet.
Deleteeven if PR conquer Putrajaya and Star become state gov, can Star guarantee that the oil royalty will be increase to 50% and not 20%?
ReplyDeletePaling minima, STAR akan minta naik 50%.
DeleteSekarang Sabah BN tidak berani minta naik 6% pun.
Apa mcm, mau terus kekal termiskin kah?
Jangan terpedaya dengan hasutan STAR kerana mereka ini sebenarnya tidak mempunyai sebarang perancangan untuk mentadbir Sabah selain daripada menabur janji-janji manis bertujuan untuk memperdayakan rakyat.
ReplyDeleteTengok dan selami dengan mendalam siapa dia dalam kepimpinan STAR dan saudara akan sedar mereka ini adalah badut-badut yang bersendiwara dengan slogan kosong mereka.Lupakan sahaja parti ini dari fikiran saudara dan jangan terheret dengan tipu daya mereka yang hanya berharap dengan sentimen belas kasihan dan simpati rakyat.
Ada rakyat sudah tertipu dengan janji mereka berkenaan royalti minyak.Apabila mereka tahu bahawa Pakatan sudah berjanji untuk menaikkan royalti kepada 20% jika menang mereka sekarang sudah tambah lagi dan minta 50%.Tipu muslihat ini sudah ketara hanya rakyat lah yang patut sedar.STAR boleh di percayai? NO,NO,NO,not in a million years.
Kalau janji politik saja, tidak payahlah mahu mengharap sangat. Banyak yang indah khabar dari rupa.
Deletebuat apa saja adalah untuk kebaikan Sabah.
ReplyDeleteHarap kita boleh mendapat 100%
Deleteagak mustahil juga kalau Sabah dapat 100%. tapi selagi pemimpin berusaha ke arah tu pasti Sabah akan mendapat perubahan.
DeleteRoyalti minyak menjadi tumpuan para pembangkang buat masa sekarang untuk menarik sokongan penduduk Sabah. Seperti STAR yang mahukan 50% royalti untuk Sabah dan begitu juga dengan PR yang memberikan 20% jika mereka menang.
ReplyDeletesemua tu cuma mengaburi mata rakyat saja sebab PRU semakin dekat. dengan janji2 seperti itu jangan fikir rakyat mudah terpedaya. rakyat sudah banyak belajar dari pengalaman.
DeleteAnak petagas...
ReplyDeleteBenar apa yang kamu katakan. Semua apa yang dikatakan itu cumalah hasutan semata-mata.
Jika berkenaan royalti perlu dikaji semula. Kita tidak boleh cakap begitu saja. Kalau Petronas tidak ada keuntungan untuk cover perbelanjaan ini akan menjejaskan pendapatan mengenai minyak dan gas. Tambahan lagi negara kita ini telah memberikan subsidi yang tinggi. Ada orang yang membandingkan Jakarta, Indonesia yang menerima 20% royalti. Namun cuba lihat harga minyak RON95 mereka IDR9,150(RM3.18) bebanding dengan hanya RM1.90 di Malaysia. Cuba bayangkan jika subsidi ini ditarik dan royalti diberikan 20-50%? Siapa yang lebih sengsara setiap hari.. Bukankah kita rakyat yang membeli minyak setiap hari untuk kegunaan. Hanya kerana inginkan royalti kita yang lain tepaksa menanggung kos yang tinggi untuk bahan bakar.
ReplyDeletepihak pembangkang jadikan Sabah medium tawar-menawar. sale mana yang akan menarik minat rakyat Sabah. 20%? 50%? 70%? 100%?
DeleteIt is the norm for opposition parties to make all kinds of promises because they know they are not the ruling party and all their promises remain false promises
ReplyDeleteHarap pemimpin kita boleh membincangkan perkara ini dengan kerajaan pusat mengenai royalti minyak kita.
