陈超耀:新任首相应关注国油与砂政府诉讼案

砂拉越人民联合党中央秘书长拿督陳超耀律师表示,随着联邦政府政权更迭,希盟政府垮台,国油公司也拥有“新主人”,砂人联党呼吁新任首相丹斯里慕尤丁认真关注国油公司与砂政府的两宗诉讼案件。 国油也应该向慕尤丁详细汇报诉讼案件详情。砂人联党认为,两宗诉讼案件的最佳解决方案是: (一)国油公司认同并允许砂政府征收13亿令吉石油产品销售税。 (二)国油公司撤回针对砂拉越政府征收石油产品销售税的司法检讨申请。 陈超耀今日发文告指出,砂人联党及普遍砂人民希望两宗案件会很快落幕,慕尤丁也应该比前朝希盟政府,更友善及公平对待砂拉越。我们会等待相关好消息。 他说,布城上诉庭三司昨日一致驳回国油公司律师代表团,撤换古晋高庭司法专员陈赐荣的上诉,维持后者承审砂拉越政府向国油公司追讨13亿令吉石油产品销售税及罚款的民事诉讼。 他表示,砂人联党恭贺及感激砂律政署顾问拿督斯里冯裕中及砂律政司拿督达叻玛目领导的法律团队,为两宗与国油公司的诉讼案件尽心尽力,捍卫砂政府及人民的利益。 “砂人联党及普遍砂人民认为,国油公司有意耽误缴付石油产品销售税的实质进展,这对砂拉越2019年及2020年的财政预算带来影响。” 陈超耀指出,砂拉越财政预算案对全体砂人民,尤其是乡区发展非常重要。国油公司拖欠的巨额销售税,须尽快缴付给砂拉越政府,以让砂拉越发展议程得以顺利落实,惠及砂人民,提升人民生活素质。 他说,前朝希盟联邦政府对砂拉越并不友善,这在国油公司采取的行动获得证明。国油公司律师代表团在2018年6月4日,距离第14届全国大选落幕未到1个月,就入禀法庭起诉砂政府。 “庆幸的是,绝大部分砂人民坚决成为砂政府后盾,他们对国油公司及希盟政府罔顾砂拉越石油权益的做法,感到不满、失望及愤怒。”
