kerajaan Malaysia rugi RM320 billions dlm rundingan rahsiah dgn kerajaan Brunei!

1. The Edge Financial Daily, an article by Joseph Chin (The Edge, April 22nd) as well as Brunei Times
reported a substantial oil producing offshore area in the South China
Sea, namely Block L and Block M, were no longer a part of Malaysia.

2. Malaysians and the Malaysian media did not ask how this came about.
It would seem that the loss of a huge oil producing area that had
apparently belonged to Malaysia is okay.

3. Block L and Block M had been claimed by Malaysia based on historical
facts. Accordingly, Petronas entered into a production sharing contract
with Murphy Oil to start drilling to produce oil. It is estimated that
the reserves amounted to almost 1 billion barrels.

4.
Abdullah Badawi negotiated with the Sultan to get back Limbang in
Sarawak. In return he agreed to surrender the two blocks to Brunei. No
Petronas representatives were present, only foreign office staff and
the foreign affairs adviser to the PM.


5. As we all know Abdullah triumphantly announced that he had settled the Limbang claim with Brunei (here). No mention was made of the two blocks.


6. Brunei disclaimed (here) that they had agreed to give up Limbang. The foreign office and Abdullah did not rebut Brunei's statement.


7. Now it is made clear that the two blocks are no longer a part of Malaysia.

8. Abdullah has caused Malaysia to lose at least US100 billion dollars
(about RM320 billion) of Malaysia's oil in this agreement.


9. Can Wisma Putra please explain why it did not stop Abdullah.

Mantan Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad mendakwa penggantinya,
Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi telah menyerahkan kepada Brunei dua blok
pengeluaran minyak luar pantai, sebelum bersara awal tahun lalu.

Menurutnya,
perkara itu dilaporkan oleh The Edge Financial Daily (22 April) dan
Brunei Times di mana kawasan yang kaya simpanan minyak di Laut Cina
Selatan - Block L dan Block M - tidak lagi menjadi sebahagian daripada
Malaysia.

Menulis dalam blognya, Dr Mahathir mendakwa jumlah kerugian dalam bentuk perolehan berjumlah AS$100 bilion (RM320 bilion).

Menurutnya,
Abdullah telah menyerahkan 'Blok L' dan Blok M' di Laut Cina Selatan,
dikatakan sebagai pertukaran dengan Brunei supaya menggugurkan
tuntutannya terhadap Limbang, Sarawak.

"Blok L dan
Blok M dituntut oleh Malaysia berdasarkan kepada fakta sejarah.
Menurutnya, Petronas menandatangani kotrak perkongsian pengeluaran
dengan Murphy Oil (Corp) untuk memulakan pengeluaran minyak.Simpanan
minyak di kawasan itu adalah hampir 1 bilion tong.

"Abdullah
berunding dengan sultan (Brunei) untuk mengambil Limbang di Sarawak.
Sebagai balasannya, beliau bersetuju untuk menyerahkan dua blog
tersebut kepada Brunei.

"Tidak ada wakil Petronas yang hadir, hanya kakitangan pejabat luar dan pnasihat halehwal luar kepada PM," dakwa Mahathir.
