这个得从历史背景说起。
对马来人来说,槟榔至今属于吉打,所以要付租金。
对槟榔人而言是保护费,槟政府拒绝低头。
所以,从1874到2018年,联邦政府代槟榔缴付租金,每年意思意思1万块钱(1874年的1万块实属巨额,2018年的1万不够塞牙缝)
希盟上台后,boy boy以大臣身份向daddy马神首相大吵特吵,林神为了讨好吉打出身的马氏父子,宣布财政部代槟榔缴付租金给吉打,从1万块钱提高至1000万块钱,条件是吉打不能再讨MUDA河水费和土地租金。林神过不久宣布财政部出钱建位于居林的西塘机场,boy boy很满意,不再哭闹。
2020年,神教党执政吉打,大臣隔年要求1亿租金(包括河水费),臭款友政府建议上法庭解决两州问题。后来就有大臣要堵河水的闹剧。
In exchange for the acquisition, the annual payment to the Sultan of Kedah was increased to 10,000 Spanish dollars per annum.
From 1874 until 2018, the Malaysian federal government (and its historical predecessors) paid Kedah, on behalf of Penang, RM 10,000 annually as a symbolic gesture.
Since 2018, the Malaysian federal government revised the payments to Kedah, increasing to RM 10 million a year to Kedah.
Whilst in 2021, the Menteri Besar of Kedah, Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, in reference to the annual payments, demanded the payments be raised to RM 100 million annually. Despite claims by Sanusi, there was never a lease agreement between Kedah and Penang.
