KOTA BARU – In what can only be described as a show of dissatisfaction, caretaker Kelantan deputy menteri besar Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah’s cousin has taken to setting up a Pakatan Harapan (PH) post in the former's compound.
Muhamad Fekri Muhamad Yusoff, 62, put up a PH tent in Kg Panchor, a first for the PAS stronghold considering Amar himself is Panchor’s incumbent and is attempting to defend the seat for the party in this Saturday’s state election.
Fekri is also related to PH’s Panchor candidate, 50-year-old Syed Mohd Alidustur Syed Mohd Zain.
What is even more unique is that in the same compound, there is also a PAS tent just a few metres away.
“I set up this tent on the same plot of land as Amar’s house without anyone urging me to do so. Amar is my cousin and Alidustur is also a relative. This is considered family land,” he said.
Elaborating, he said he opened the tent for PH after PKR announced Alidustur as their candidate to take on Amar.
“This is the first time since I was born that a different party is setting up camp here as this place has always been a PAS stronghold,” he said.
Fekri explained that he was no longer happy with PAS' leadership, which was why he set up a tent for PH.
“PAS today is not like the old PAS during the administration of the late Tan Sri Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat. Leaders today are only using his name but their actions say otherwise,” he said last night. – The Vibes, August 9, 2023
