KUALA TERENGGANU – Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar today said that he is still the Terengganu menteri besar.
“I woke up this morning and I am still the menteri besar, although there seem to be pictures of 10 menteris besar changing by the hour,” he quipped when met by reporters after visiting the family of Jusoh Muda, 83, who perished in a fire in Kg Losong Haji Su last Monday.
Samsuri, who is also Ru Rendang MP, said the issue of an impending new menteri besar keenly debated at the moment did not arise.
“People who slander (on the issue of changing the menteri besar) perhaps tend to forget about the fires of hell,” he said.
Last Tuesday, Terengganu PAS lodged a police report against a news portal for its report that implied that Samsuri’s position as menteri besar was hanging in the balance.
His political secretary Muhyiddin Abdul Rashid said the news report was deemed defamatory and malicious, and written to tarnish the credibility of the menteri besar’s leadership. – Bernama, June 10, 2021
