KOTA BAHARU, Jan 27 (Bernama) -- The federal government has decided to give Kelantan RM20 million as compassionate fund, due under an oil and gas production arrangement, in March, International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said here.
He said the decision was made after discussions with the national oil corporation, Petronas, recently.
"It involves revenue from oil and gas production in the South Earth Platform, Block PM301, close to Kelantan waters. The RM20 million is five per cent of the total revenue from the block since May 2008," he told reporters after opening a forum on the compassionate fund, here last night. More than 5,000 people attended the forum.
Mustapa, who is also chairman of the Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee, said the Kelantan government's claim for RM11 billion in oil royalty was extreme as the oil production was not that high.
"We wish to clarify that oil production at Block PM302, revenue from which is also being claimed, is jointly shared with Thailand under the Malaysia-Thailand joint development area since 1979.
