Kelantan govt to review state Bersatu chief’s exco position

The Kelantan government will discuss the position of state Bersatu chairman Kamarudin Nor as a member of the state executive council at its meeting this Wednesday.

Deputy menteri besar Fadzli Hassan said a decision would be announced by menteri besar Nassuruddin Daud after the meeting.

“Wait for the exco meeting on Wednesday. The menteri besar will raise the matter, and we will discuss it.

“The final decision will be made on Wednesday,” he told FMT.

Fadzli was responding to rumours that the state government intends to terminate Kamarudin’s appointment as the exco member overseeing the tourism, culture, arts and heritage portfolio.

Kamarudin earlier said he had yet to receive an official letter from the state government regarding the matter.

Kamarudin, the Ayer Lanas assemblyman, has served as a state exco member since August 2023.

He has led Bersatu in Kelantan for 10 years.

The rumours emerged amid tensions between PAS and Bersatu following their breakdown in political cooperation, announced by the Islamic party on June 8.

PAS said then that it would end all political cooperation with Bersatu following a special meeting of its central working committee.
