All about 20% oil royalties

SAPP gave four reasons for backing the no-confidence vote against the premiership of Abdullah Badawi:

• No concrete actions have been taken on the issue of illegal immigrants in Sabah;

• Sabah, being the poorest state, is greatly burdened by the sharp hike in petrol prices. The government has failed to provide "holistic economic solutions";

• SAPP Member of Parliament would fail in their role as elected representatives as issues raised such as poor delivery systems, corruption, wastage of resources, lack of transparency and no sense of accountability are ignored; &
  

• People have lost confidence in the leadership of Abdullah. SAPP is of the opinion that if the top leadership can't perform, then Abdullah should make way for other able leader to take over.

However, for me, there is one solid reason for the motion that is the 20% oil royalties offer by Pakatan leader, Annuar Ibrahim, to Sabah, which is too attractive compare with the current 5% given by Abdullah's government.

So, politics is all about dollars and cents.

What is your stand, Sarawak and Terengganu?
