THE distribution of seats between PAS and Bersatu for the Terengganu elections will be decided within two days.

Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar said the parties involved are still in discussion regarding the allocation of the seats, but Terengganu PAS is ready to give room to Bersatu to contest several seats.

“There will be seats for our Bersatu friends to contest in Terengganu, but we have not yet finished seat talks.

“In the next two days we will hold a discussion with the leaders (of both parties) to determine the seats to be contested,” he said at a press conference after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between KMI Healthcare and the Perlis State Economic Development Corporation in Kuala Lumpur today.

In the meantime, Ahmad who is also PAS vice-president, said his party has no problems with Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Muhyiddin Yassin’s willingness to work with former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

“What is important is that we, PN, want to galvanise support as much as possible among the people, not only the Malay Muslims but also from other communities,” he said.

Terengganu is among the six states that will hold their elections this year apart from Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Kelantan and Kedah.

Regarding the issue of the sale of Terengganu government land worth RM29.3 million to a civil society organisation, Ahmad said it was in accordance with existing rules and laws in the state. 

“I don’t understand why is this matter an issue because the process was carried out in accordance with the existing rules and laws of Terengganu,” he said.

Several days ago, 11,299sq m of land near the Terengganu PAS liaison office building worth RM29.3 million was allegedly sold to the Association of Wives of Terengganu MPs and Former MPs with a premium payment of RM500,000. – Bernama, June 3, 2023.
