KOTA BARU – Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob has indicated that his courtesy call on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim two days ago would have good results for the people of Kelantan.

He said he had submitted copies and claims for oil royalty rights at the meeting, adding that prime minister responded by saying “InsyaAllah” (god willing).

“We hope the prime minister will give news that will be the best for Kelantan,” he said. 

He said this to reporters after the handing over of Aidilfitri cookies to security forces at Dewan Bunga Teratai, Kota Darulnaim here today. 

Ahmad said at the meeting, the state government also requested that all matters that have been decided by the previous administration to be continued. 

On state polls, Ahmad said Kelantan has yet to dissolve the state legislative assembly. 

“The legislative assembly term will end on June 28 and it will be dissolved before that as agreed by menteri besar of the six states,” he said. 

“It is up to the Election Commission to hold elections in the six states and Kelantan has agreed to hold it simultaneously,” he added. 

Besides Kelantan, the states are Penang, Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Terengganu and Kedah. – Bernama, April 13, 2023
