Mengenai Abdullah Badawi dituduh memberikan Brunei block minyak kepada Brunei.
Malaysia menamakan kedua blok minyak itu, L dan M.
Tapi Brunei pula menamakannya Block K dan Block J.
Eeks, Blocks KJ (?).
Ah kan, ah kan.
Buat lawak saja.

TAMBAHAN 12TGHMLM
This is a chronology of the issue which I compiled for my newspaper just now.
History, my dear friends, is very important to give us an insight of the future.
1890s - Sarawak’s ‘White Rajah’, Charles Brooke, took over Limbang district from Brunei. The cession is disputed by Brunei which regarded the transfer as annexation by Sarawak.
1979 - Malaysia publishes a map which indicated all deep-sea territorial waters off coast of Brunei belonged to Malaysia.
1995 - Negotiations began, and went on for 38 rounds over the years.
2003 - Malaysia and Brunei awarded petroleum production-sharing contracts for four exploration blocks in South China Sea to different companies in the disputed area. Following the dispute, both countries stopped drilling in the area.
March 2009 - Tun Abdullah Badawi signed Letters of Exchange with Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah in Bandar Seri Begawan. Mr Abdullah later told reporters Brunei has dropped its claim over Limbang. Brunei a day later denied that Limbang was discussed during the meeting with the Sultan.
April 21, 2010 - US company Murphy Oil Corp said it was informed by Malaysian national oil firm Petronas that its contract for Blocks L and M has been terminated as these were no longer part of Malaysia.
April, 29, 2010 - Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad claimed in his blog that Mr Abdullah has caused Malaysia to lose at least US$100 billion dollars in oil revenues by losing the two blocks.
April 30, 2010 - Mr Abdullah in a statement said his Cabinet ministers had agreed to the deal. “Sovereign rights to the resources in this area now belongs to Brunei,” he said.
