'16:16' in Terengganu will ensure ruling BN serve the people

There will be no change of government if PAS wins the Kuala Besut by-election, resulting in an equal split of total state seats i Terengganu, said PAS's by-election campaign chief Husam Musa.

As such, Husam said there was nothing for BN leaders to fear if PAS wins, unless they are not following law and order.

“Terengganu BN government, in our opinion, can still rule (if PAS wins), but they no longer can act at will, and we (PAS) will have a constructive role in bringing out a people-oriented state administration,” Husam told Malay daily Sinar Harian.

The PAS vice president said the party could serve as an effective agent for check and balance in the Terengganu administration.

Meanwhile party information chief Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said the people in the state would benefit the most if PAS wins.

Describing the '16:16' state assembly as a leap for Terengganu’s people, Tuan Ibrahim said a PAS victory would enable the party to ensure the BN-led Terengganu government's transparency.

“BN supporters should also vote for PAS candidate so (Terengganu Menteri Besar) Ahmad Said cannot victimise BN supporters who voted for BN in state constituencies won by opposition,” said Tuan Ibrahim.

After forming the state government following the May 5 polls, Ahmad said there would be no development funds for constituencies won by Pakatan Rakyat. -HD
