Kelantan may reward shops that quit selling cigarettes

KOTA BARU, Oct 21 – The Kelantan Government is willing to consider giving incentives to any trader or retail outlet that does not sell cigarettes.

State Women, Family and Health Development Comittee chairman Wan Ubaidah Wan Omar said the incentives were in line with the state government’s aspiration to ensure the people did not develop the smoking habit.

She was replying to Dr Nik Mazian Nik Mohamad (PAS-Gaal) at the State Assembly sitting here today.

Meanwhile, state local government, tourism and culture committee chairman Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan said the state government was firm in going ahead with the plan to implement hudud law, if given the green light.

“PAS has taken all the necessary moves to uplift the status of Islam by approving the hudud law in 1993,” he said in reply to a question from Abdul Halim Abdul Rahman (PAS-Chetok).

On other development, the Kelantan Government denied that the second Sultan Yahya Petra bridge project, implemented by the federal government, was a political issue linked to the next general election.

Replying to Abdullah Yaakub (PAS-Air Lanas), state housing, works, utilities and environment committee chairman Maj (Rtd) Md Anizam Abdul Rahman said construction of the project was ongoing, according to the initial plan and specifications.

He said it was expected to be completed on Feb 11, 2011. – Bernama
