Terengganu wants full control of oil royalty for its own projects
... Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said said the time had come for the annual 5% oil royalty, which was withdrawn in 1999 when PAS captured the state and restored later as the Federal Government Special Fund, to be fully managed by the state government to carry out more development projects.
... Personally, I have been unhappy with some projects because of their high cost and lack of priority for the people. It is other people, not us, who make the decisions when we are the masters (in the state).
