MIRI: The statement by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad that raising the oil royalty for Sarawak and Sabah to 20 per cent was ‘really not workable’ has been described as disappointing and saddening by Telang Usan assemblyman Dennis Ngau.

He told The Borneo Post that not only was the matter listed in Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) election manifesto, it was also mentioned by a PH Sarawak leader during the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting prior to the general election last year.
