He also launched the 21-point party manifesto which among other included the introduction of a special RM1 fuel price for petrol and diesel and free education from kindergarten to university levels.

"We plan on having 16 ministers and 32 deputies in the state government which will include four new ministries.

"These are for Mineral Resources, Education, Health and Corporate Affairs," he said.
