PETALING JAYA: The Terengganu government not only welcomes Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and his Cabinet to hold a Hari Raya open house in the state but will also provide all support necessary to make the event a success, says menteri besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar.
He said the state government would provide support to ensure the event scheduled for May 13 proceeds smoothly.
“We are open to whatever objectives that the federal government wishes to achieve by holding the open house here. We welcome the prime minister and the Cabinet to celebrate Raya here.
“We want to show that the political differences (between the state and federal governments) will not be seen as an obstacle for us to work together.
“We will celebrate our special guests’ arrival,” Berita Harian reported him as saying at his open house held today.
Earlier this week, it was announced that the annual Hari Raya open house will not be held at the prime minister’s official residence in Putrajaya for the first time. Instead, it will be organised at PAS-held states.
The Terengganu Aidilfitri open house event will be held at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin from 7pm to 10.30pm on May 13.
The open house in Kedah will be at Hotel Raia in Alor Setar from 10am to 2pm on April 29. In Kelantan, it will be held at Stadium Sultan Muhammad IV from 7pm to 10.30pm on May 12.
To a question on whether Anwar’s presence in Terengganu was aimed at gaining support for the unity government in view of the coming state elections, Samsuri said he left it to the public to make their own assessment. - FMT
