Renegotiate the Petroleum Agreement 1976?


By Joseph Lakai

Why should Sabah & Sarawak renegotiate the Petroleum Agreement 1976, when even in the first agreement Malaya did not honor the terms?

5% of Petroleum Sale is not less than RM500 million per year. The 5% was never a Royalty but total sale based on F.O.B.

The global petroleum & gas price for the last 2 decades was excellent. Why does the amount paid to the state government remain constant?

Why need to export Petroleum from Labuan and Gas from Bintulu? Who collect the Export Tax?

Why is Sabah & Sarawak have nothing to say to the Export Tax?

What about Tax on Petroleum Products into Sabah and Sarawak, Why is Sabah & Sarawak is not getting any of it?

Today, both the Chief Minister of Sabah and Sarawak wants to renegotiate.

The issue is that Petroleum belongs to the people not the leaders.

They have no right to renegotiate on behalf of the people –Only the Dewan Undangan Negeri has that power.

    EXCELLENT POINTS!

    In 1976 Sabah and Sarawak right to the oilfields were signed away for just 5% so-called "royalty" which seems not to be what it really is.

    The most important question is when Malaya did not honour the agreement and all the other agreements -Malaysia Agreement, 18/20 Points Agreement.Malaya had repudiated the terms.

    Sabah and Sarawak are not bound by these Agreement to the extent where they are entirely for the benefit of Malaya. If these agreements are voided then Sabah and Sarawak are free from all the legal lies with Malaya.

    The bottom line is that the Malayan Government has been acting as the new colonial master by annexing Malayanising and looting Sabah and Sarawak since 1963 fulfilling its objectives to create a "Greater Malaysia".

    Sabah and Sarawak should be the sole beneficiary of the oil income.

    But that is too late in the day to talk about getting a better deal.

    Since many have realised we are still a colony, the best deal and correct question is why are we not demanding de-colonisation and taking back out control of our oilfields and country?

    We are not legally bound to be in Malaysia and we should be free to become independent states.

    We all can see we will be better off like Brunei and Singapore enjoying their independence and determining their own affairs without Malayan control.

    This fundamental question must be raise all the time including on 31 August (Malayan Independence Day) and 16 September (Malayanisation Day).

    Datuk Musa Aman akan cuba membincangkan perkara ini dengan pihak Persekutuan. Harap royalti ini akan dapat didengar oleh pihak persekutuan untuk kepentingan penduduk Sabah.

    Musa aman nak bincang pasal royalti minyak. Tak perlu gaduh2, sokong musa aman untuk bincang royalti minyak. Kita hanya minta musa aman minta royalti lebih banyak dari sekarang, desak supaya minta 50%. Ataupun minta cadangan dari rakyat sabah.perkara dan point utama kita ialah berapa % harus diminta, beri cadangan. Kalu gaduh sana sini, takut pula langsung tak dapat2. Ini peluang kita, kecuali la kalau hanya pemanis pilihanraya. Yang tu mmg saya tentang.

    Now the sabah Bn government says the issue on petroleum royalty will be taken for discussion with the federal Government... haha is it just because GE13 is close by and they know they are losing out of support. Anyway no discussion would have happen if we in the opposition didnt push the issue. I guess its admission by the BN that we were right all along.

    BUT I would rather have it all and get the hell out from malaysia!*&%$?#*

    The opposition may call it a political gimmick, but to the people of Sabah and Sarawak, it is a reflection of the prevailing strong ties and mutual trust between the leaders of the two states and the Federal Government.

    The issue is actually nothing new and the opposition is merely "copying" it from political parties which are now aligned with the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN).

    The fact is, it was Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) which had first raised the issue. It was a dominant topic in its campaign in the 1985 state election that saw it toppling the Berjaya state government.

    Politics should not be allowed to get into the way when dealing with such a delicate issue, in order to reach an amicable solution that would benefit the people of Sabah and Sarawak.

  26. James SioponAugust 29, 2012 at 7:12 PM

    What is more encouraging for the leaders of the two states is the openness and willingness of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to hear them out.

    Perhaps, it is not far-fetched to assume that Najib will respond positively to the readiness of the two states to discuss the issue with Putrajaya.

  27. James SioponAugust 29, 2012 at 7:13 PM

    As the Federal Government had already agreed to the formation of a special committee to review the oil royalties for Terengganu and Kelantan, it is only fair for Sabah and Sarawak to request that the review should also include the two East Malaysian states, the main contributors to the national oil production.
