KUALA TERENGGANU – Former Terengganu menteri besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Razif Abd Rahman has refuted claims that he is willing to give up his Seberang Takir state seat to Kuala Nerus MP Datuk Mohd Khairuddin Aman Razali in the next general election.
Razif said he had not made the statement and was surprised that many had been talking about it since last night following a Facebook post on this matter via the “Terengganu Repot” account.
He said the post was accompanied by a photograph of him at Khairuddin’s press conference during a buka puasa event with Pengurusan Aset Air Bhd (PAAB) here last Friday.
“I would like to emphasise that the Facebook posting is false and slanderous, aimed at tarnishing my reputation as the Seberang Takir assemblyman.
“The report is completely absurd, funny, nonsensical, and embarrassing which has been done by irresponsible people. It is really sad when such slander is spread during the holy month of Ramadan,” he said on his Facebook today.
Razif stressed that the photograph was taken when he attended the event with other invited state assemblymen under the Kuala Nerus parliamentary constituency.
“The ceremony was also attended by Datuk Seri Dr Khairuddin as chairman (PAAB) and no statement was issued by me, let alone as reported by ’Terengganu Repot’.
“Let us fill Ramadan with grace and wisdom, and stay away from slander, jealousy and prejudice,” he said.
Razif was Terengganu menteri besar from 2014 to 2018. – Bernama, April 10, 2022
