PENAMPANG: The Barisan Nasional (BN) government must bewary of what it does lest history catches up with them.
"I am warning the BN government of today, that if they are not careful, history will catch up with them, they are answerable now and in the future," said Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee.
"In this respect we are fast tracking the issue of L and M oil blocks,” he said.
Yong who was met at the SAPP public service counter at the Donggongon tamu yesterday said that arising from the Labuan case, the party was now considering to fast track the issue,of the loss of oil blocks L and M of three million acres in Sabah to Brunei Darussalam in the final days of the Pak Lah administration.
He regretted the fact that the matter was not even brought to the State Assembly when the issue was first exposed by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"How could Petronas sign an agreement with a foreign company if the territory was not part of Malaysia in the first place?" Yong asked.
"At that time we highlighted that the loss of oil blocks L and M involved a change of the Sabah boundary which required an approval of the State Legislative Assembly and amendment to the constitution.
"It also required, because it involved Malaysian teritory, the Rulers’ Conference and a Parliamentary Act. Other than the loss of petroleum reserve under the, three million acres of maritime territory, there are now issues about fishermen and other shipping passing by the two blocks.
Yong said, "it is still not too late to do something about the loss of L and M."

ReplyDeleteSomething can be done about this issue.
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is I suggest it is done immediately.
DeleteThe government should look into this crucial matter.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t the state government aware of this?
ReplyDeleteisu Blok L dan M dah berlalu, pemberian kedia Blok tersebut kepada Brunei dpt menghentikan tuntutan Brunei terhadap Limbang, Limbang jauh lebih penting daripada kedua Blok tersebut.
ReplyDeleteSAPP tak perlulah nak mempolitikkan lagi isu ini.
ReplyDeleteIsu sudah lama tidak perlu lagi dibangkitkan. SAPP tidak dapat buat apa-apa lagi dengan isu blok L dan M ini.
ReplyDeletememang sapp tidak boleh buat apa2 pun.. masa YTL jadi KM dulu, kenapa dia tidak ambil balik Labuan..
Deletemasa isu ni hangat diperkatakan, kenapa tidak keluarkan semua pertikaian atau persoalan2 SAPP terhadap parti pemerintah?? kenapa bila PRU semakin hampir, baru terhegeh2 mahu isu ini dibangkitkan??
ReplyDeleteBlok L dan M yang mempunyai simpanan minyak mentah bermutu tinggi , dianggarkan sebanyak 1 bilion tong dengan potensi hasilnya dianggarkan RM320 bilion sudah diserahkan kepada Brunei.apa lagi yang SAPP mahukan? kalau sekadar alat poitik untuk menghadapi PRU-13, rasanya tidak perlu.
