KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 — Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said the Kelantan government was paid what it was due for petroleum resources derived from its territory.

He said the federal government allocated the sum to ensure the state could afford to continue providing services to residents.

“I have not read the Kelantan MB statement but as I said I don’t want to fight over what terms are being used.

“We hope we can discuss it rationally without losing emotional control. What’s important is not only the federal government had made payments earlier and at the same time have fulfil requests from Kelantan,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby today.

This morning, Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob told his state assembly that Kelantan was paid RM15.7 million as “wang ehsan” ex gratia payments on September 17 rather than an oil royalty.
