KUCHING, April 27, 2015. - An Opposition state assemblyman has invited the State Barisan Nasional to join forces with national Pakatan Rakyat (PR) to change the federal government so to make good the State Assembly's resolution demanding for an increase in the oil and gas royalty from 5% to 20%.

"Join with national Pakatan Rakyat to change the Federal Government.  Sabah BN MPs will also join us together to get the 20% oil royalty," Kota Sentosa State Assemblyman Chong Chieng Jen said in the Sarawak State Assembly when debating the Sarawak Governor's opening address.

He said PR has 86 MPs, PSM 1 and Sarawak BN has 25, making the total 112 MPs, which is enough to form the federal government.

"Sabah BN, with 22 MPs, will follow suit," he said.
