KOTA KINABALU: Sabah might never get the 20% oil royalty that it is hoping for due to pre-existing agreements with international corporations, says state Barisan Nasional chief Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin.

He said the 20% oil royalty was not an easy matter to achieve, which was why the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah, comprising Sabah Barisan, Perikatan Nasional and PBS, would set up a Sabah Petroleum Council among others as per the “Aku Janji” pledge.
