Malaysia - oil royalty issue for Kelantan.

AlJazeeraEnglish | September 03, 2010 - In Malaysia, an opposition-run state government is preparing for a court battle against the federal government over more than a billion dollars in oil royalties.

The east-coast state of Kelantan is run by the Islam-based party Pas.
