Kelantan MB meets Dr M to seek views on developing state

(FMT) – The PAS government in Kelantan will consult Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad on suitable ways to develop the state, said Menteri Besar Ahmad Yakob.

Speaking after meeting Mahathir who was visiting Kelantan today, Ahmad said there were many development opportunities which the state could grab for the benefit of the people, adding that it was important to seek Mahathir’s views on this.

“I told Tun there were still many development opportunities such as in the agriculture sector which must be developed for the benefit of the people in the future.

“So the discussion today is on how to develop Kelantan in the future,” he said.

Ahmad said Kelantan still needed Mahathir’s views as the prime minister had a lot of knowledge in running a government.

“We asked for his views, there were no new discussions, only old issues on Kelantan’s future.

“He said Kelantan has a lot of Malays and has to be developed, and we have to work at it. We must put in the effort to develop the state and the people,” he said.
