KUALA TERENGGANU, Sept 16 – Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said claims that the ongoing political crisis in Terengganu is due to interference by “irresponsible parties”.
He said this was because Barisan Nasional (BN) state assemblymen in Terengganu had no reasons to oppose his leadership.
“Several hands are at play, causing this crisis. If I am a junior assemblyman, then I can understand the dissatisfaction but I am the most senior of 28 BN assemblymen in Terengganu.
“I was also State Umno Youth chief, Umno Youth Exco member and State Exco member for two terms,” he told reporters after chairing the State Exco meeting here today.
Ahmad who declined to reveal the parties concerned said he knew who were behind the political crisis in Terengganu.
On the meeting between six assemblymen and Terengganu Umno liaison chairman Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein in Putrajaya last night, Ahmad said they had met him first.
The menteri besar said he managed to form the state government as he had the support of all BN assemblymen.
He added legal action would be taken against a local newspaper for failing to apologise and correct a report on Sept 4 which he claimed to be libellous.
“The report portrayed to society that I was responsible for the political crisis in Terengganu,” he said. – Bernama
