najib altantuya: Kelantan has not given up hope on oil royalty

@ MYsinchew.com

KOTA BHARU, Sept 22 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan state government has not given up hope on its oil royalty claim from the federal government, Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said today.

He said though the state government had initially expected the oil royalty to be paid before Aidilfitri, it would still strive to make headway on the issue.

"Discussions between officers from both sides are being carried out to facilitate the approval process. We are still hoping for the discussions to have a positive effect," Nik Aziz told reporters here.

He was replying to a question on whether the state government had given up hope on the oil royalty claim after having expected to receive the payment from the federal government by Aidilfitri.

According to a report last month, the state government is seeking RM1 billion in oil royalty, claiming that the money constituted five per cent of the earnings from petroleum and liquefied natural gas extracted from offshore Kelantan since 2004.
