The state government is always open to suggestions on improving its financial system including the method of chanelling oil royalty payment, said Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.<\/p>\n
However, Ahmad Samsuri said the method of oil royalty payment direct from the federal government into the state government\u2019s account adopted all this while was effective and there was no need to change.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do not see the need of a new system as the direct channelling method was suitable.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the method was deficient, it would have been picked during the annual audit and would have been reprimanded if there were weaknesses,\u201d he told reporters here.<\/p>\n
He was commenting on a call by Terengganu Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman Datuk Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah Raja Ahmad who told the government to review the method of channelling oil royalty payment as there was discrimination and abuse in its distribution.<\/p>\n
Commenting on allegations of unfair and discriminatory distribution targeted against groups from certain parties, Ahmad Samsuri said the claim was serious and should be taken seriously.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am urging him (Raja Bahrin to back his claims against the state government with complete details for us to verify the allegations.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there are abuses and so on, we have police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to take action on the offences,\u201d he said. \u2014 Bernama<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
