Whatever mistakes of the past should be learnt and steps should be taken to rectify the past mistakes advised Dr. Jeffrey. In owning up to Sabahs predicament on Sabahs oil, Harris unequivocally advised that it was up to the Sabah lawmakers to make amends and raise the issue in Parliament to re-claim Sabahs oil and not behave like past and present lawmakers who would put up both hands to support the federal government. Harris further added that he was certain that if the matter was raised and reasonable, the federal government would agree to Sabahs demands. The idea was supported whole-heartedly by Datuk Yong Teck Lee, another former Chief Minister. Datuk Yong then advised that due to the changes of the times and circumstances, the federal government was at its weakest and Sabah lawmakers as kingmakers should leverage on the this weakness and use the window of opportunity to demand for Sabahs oil and other rights. For the future and benefit of each and every Sabahan, it has now become the legal duty and moral obligation of the Sabah government and each and every Sabah MP to take every available step to regain Sabahs oil and gas ownership. The Sabah government needs to raise with the federal government the issue of Petronas returning Sabahs oil and gas ownership and the Sabah MPs need to raise the matter in Parliament. If they wish to take it further, they should get the Petronas Twin Towers renamed as the PETRONAS SABAH SARAWAK TWIN TOWERS. There is no two ways about it, regain Sabahs oil or condemn Sabahs future generations to unwarranted poverty due to the oil revenues being siphoned off to Petronas and the federal government concluded Dr. Jeffrey.
