The matter is expected to be settled next month.
The federal government will pay oil royalty to Kelantan after the withdrawal of the state government's lawsuit against it and Petronas is completed, Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali said today.
“After the proceedings are settled, we will execute what we have promised by making the payment directly to the state government,” he said after delivering a talk for the Ministerial Talk Series Programme at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan . Azmin said the government had made all oil royalty payments for 2018 to Terengganu while Kelantan only received a portion of the payments for 2018 due to the legal dispute.
The Kelantan government filed a lawsuit against Petronas over the oil royalty at the High Court in 2011 and began the proceedings to withdraw the suit in October last year.
