You can clearly see an inset showing the problem of concave coastal boundaries and ‘the most proximate state.’!

As it is, the problem seems to be more than merely legal and constitutional. However, there could be something on this in the laws of the sea, of which I am completely illiterate.

When an overlap occurs, it is up to the states to delineate the actual boundary. Generally, any point within an overlapping area defaults to the most proximate state.

It would be nice if there was a gov.my resource available which showed such boundaries. Also surprising.

Sdr Lim, I find this answer (by the father) most contradictory. If oil is found offshore of a state (di luar parairan negeri), how then do we define to which state the 5% must be paid to? For example, if oil is found three nautical miles off the state of Penang, which technically belong the Federation, the Federal Government may choose to pay the 5% to the adjoining states such as Kedah or Perak.

I understand there are politics involved. I am merely trying to argue from the legal and constitutional aspects.

Lim Kit Siang attacked jibby and father yesterday. He was clearly mistaken. When jibby’s father spoke of “petrolium yang dijumpai dan diperolehi di negeri masing-masing samada yang diperolehi dalam kawasan perairan atau di luar perairan negeri tersebut” he actually meant the same thing. He was referring to “di luar perairan negeri tersebut” only. And the words “dalam kawasan perairan” were inserted because they sounded nice and rhymed nicely with “di luar perairan“.

Well err or was it the other way around? Wait Wait. And just stop confusing me you buggers! Shut up. Let me gather my thoughts … Advisors. Ros. Oi celaka betul mana dia orang.

… a lie gone awry in public.

The prodigal son obviously is a poor heir to Razak’s legacy so the fact he lied is not an issue. He has been caught lying more than a few times and will keep doing it. That is not the issue.

The issue is the excuse he used is old and lame. Such a big issue and all he could come up with is an old excuse that father of cutting corners, Mahathir came up with? Even Mahathir knew his excuse was lame – he just did not give a damn.

We are faced with unprecedented challenge going into the future and what we have is mediocre product of NEP and BN corruption that can only give lame excuses when faced with the big issues? Is it a wonder from gangsta-wanabe Nazri, KPI minister, ‘The Geek’ Koh, Flailing Preppy Hishamuddin and many mores are giving such lame excuses.

Najib and his entire administration are just the wrong people to lead the change necessary for this country. BN is the wrong party for the challenge of the times..That is simply it.

Son = Murderer

Grand-son = Playboy

Great grand son = ????

If BN persists in refusing to pay the royalties to Kelantan, the state should terminate the contract with Petronas.

This will definitely scare UMNO, because if Kelantan can terminate its contract so can Sabah and Sarawak. These states can then get 100% control over its oil revenues instead of turning them over to Petronas.

they are all just samseng kampung. ask najib and his warlords to see if they dare to do this to US, China or even Indonesia. They just sneeze and umno balls will shrink 4 folds.

they are good at bullying their own citizens. anything else is gutless.
