Gua Musang member of parliament Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said today that his is still loyal to Umno's cause although he continues to voice out Kelantan's right in the oil royalty claim.

He said this when refuting allegations by various parties that he was not loyal to Umno following his push for Kelantan's entitlement to the oil royalty.

Tengku Razaleigh, who is also the Gua Musang Umno division chief, was speaking to reporters after the division's monthly meeting in Bukit Chekati.

On Jan 28 Tengku Razaleigh spoke at a talk on the Kelantan royalty issue organised by non-governmental organisations at Stadium Sultan Mohammed IV which was also attended by PAS leaders.

At the talk, he stressed that Kelantan was entitled to the oil royalty of five per cent and later defended his stand on the issue at other forums.
