Datuk Zaid Ibrahim: "As a follow up to the advertising blitz, will
any BN Minister care for a public debate on the oil issue?"
The former minister at the Prime Minister’s Department who is currently a PKR political bureau are among numerous Kelantanese politicians who has slammed the federal government’s stab at defending their stand in the refusal to pay the Kelantan government oil royalty through newspaper advertisements.
The full-page advertisements were taken up by The Information, Communication and Culture Ministry in Malay weeklies yesterday. The ads had on them a list of eight questions and answers to invalidate Razaleigh’s spat of Kelantan, as well as other states, being entitled to the five percent oil royalty under the Petroleum Development Act 1974.
Apart from the advertisement, to counter Ku Li’s argument, the federal government had also distributed leaflets discrediting the Kuli’s arguments.
