KOTA KINABALU: Two Sabah Pakatan Harapan (PH) assemblymen have challenged former Chief Ministers Tan Sri Harris Salleh and Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan to come forward and make a clarification about the Petronas Development Act.
Kadamaian assemblymen Datuk Ewon Benedick and Luyang assemblyman Phoong Jin Zhe, in a joint statement, said both Harris and Pairin were signatories to the Petronas Agreement.
“This (Petronas Agreement) was a big mistake as Sabah forever lost its authority over oil and gas resources.
“Because of this mistake, Sabah until today is facing poor road network, problematic water and electricity supply, lacking healthcare and education facilities as well as other social amenities, especially in the rural areas.
“As the Chief Minister and Minister who signed the Petronas Agreement, we urge and challenge both Harris and Pairin to come forward and clarify why they made the decision,” said Ewon and Phoong.
