Terengganu Pas Bersatu To Finalise Seat Allocation In 2 Days

---

 


The distribution of seats between PAS and Bersatu for the Terengganu state election will be decided in two days.
Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar (above, right) said the parties involved are still in discussions regarding the allocation of seats, but Terengganu PAS is ready to give way to Bersatu to contest several seats.
“There will be seats for our Bersatu friends to contest in Terengganu state, but so far we have not yet finished the seat discussion.
“In the next two days, we will hold a discussion with the leaders (of both parties) to determine the seats to be contested,” he said.
He was met at a press conference after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between KMI Healthcare and the Perlis State Economic Development Corporation in Kuala Lumpur, today.
In the meantime, Ahmad who is also PAS vice-president, said his party has no problem regarding the acceptance of Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin to work with former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad which would add value for the state polls.
“What is important is that we, PN, regardless of PAS, Bersatu, and Gerakan, want to galvanise support as much as possible among the people, not only Malay-Muslims but also from other communities,” he said.
Terengganu is among the six states that will hold their state election this year besides Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, Kelantan, and Kedah.
Regarding the issue of the sale of state government land worth RM29.3 million to an NGO, Samsuri said it was in accordance with existing rules and laws in the state.
“I don’t understand why is this matter an issue because the process was carried out in accordance with the existing rules and laws of Terengganu,” he said.
Several days ago, an issue arose regarding 11,299 square metres of land near the Terengganu PAS Liaison Office building worth RM29.3 million that was allegedly sold to the Association of Wives of Terengganu MPs and Former MPs with a premium payment of RM500,000.
The sale was not supported by the Kuala Terengganu City Council (MBKT) and was against the premium price of RM5.87 million but was allegedly reduced by the state government to only RM500,000.
