Husam, who is also Salor assemblyperson, refuted the argument that Kelantan was not entitled to the royalty claims for oil extracted more than three nautical miles off its shores.
“This is a wrong perception which the BN try to create as the rightful claim includes areas within the Exclusive Economic Zone and Territorial Zone, and hence Kelantan is entitled to 10 percent royalty of the oil extracted.
“Furthermore, the oil extracted is 150 miles from Kelantan shores. The federal government is paying oil royalty to Sabah and Terengganu whose oil platforms are 220 and 210 miles off their respective shores,” he said.
