‘Change is coming to Kelantan, PAS has failed’
12.05pm: Petaling Jaya, Selangor - An optimistic Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah believes the people of Kelantan are prepared to embrace change in the state election.
According to the Umno veteran, voters in Kelantan are attracted to the “34 offers” in Pakatan Harapan-BN’s manifesto.
“I believe the people will change the state government after seeing PAS’ failure to resolve issues affecting the rakyat, especially the water supply. PAS has been in power in Kelantan for 30 years.
“What can PAS do to convince the people if it is unable to prove its capabilities for the past 30 years?” he asked in an Utusan Malaysia report.
Tengku Razaleigh, who is popularly known as Ku Li, also told PAS not to be “arrogant” and recalled how he had helped the Islamist party wrest Kelantan in 1990.
In last November’s general election, the 86-year-old politician suffered a shocking upset when he lost his stronghold in Kelantan - the Gua Musang federal seat. Tengku Razaleigh had held the seat for a record 12 terms.
At the state level, Kelantan controls 37 out of the 45 seats.
