PAS to terminate officers appointed in Kelantan areas won by Umno, Bersatu

 

The Kelantan PAS government will from next year, terminate the services of all supervisory officers appointed in parliamentary and state constituencies which were won by Umno and Bersatu.

Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said in connection to this, all allocations previously managed by these officers will be channelled directly to the elected representative concerned.

"All this while the officers had been tasked (to do so) in the parliamentary and state constituencies where we lost either to Umno or Bersatu.

"In the spirit of cooperation, from 2021 the state government has agreed to abolish the post in the respective areas to allow Umno or Bersatu elected representatives to play their role there,” he told reporters after the state exco meeting at Kota Darul Naim today.

He said the officers affected are those who had been assigned to areas where PAS had been defeated such as Jeli, Machang, Tanah Merah, Ketereh, Gua Musang parliamentary constituencies as well as several state constituencies such as Kok Lanas and Galas.

He added that those affected would be appointed as publicity officers under the Menteri Besar's Office.
