KOTA BARU: Pas will leave decisions on Bersatu assemblymen’s exco positions to the respective state governments.
Pas deputy president Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said the party’s central leadership would not intervene in state administrative matters.
He added Pas central would only receive reports concerning the party.
“At this point, Pas central leadership leaves matters concerning state administration to the respective state governments.
“The party will only receive reports involving party-related issues.
“Pas central leadership will not intervene in such administrative decisions,” said Tuan Ibrahim, who is also Perikatan Nasional deputy chairman.
The Kubang Kerian member of parliament was responding to questions about the uncertain status of Bersatu assemblymen holding exco positions in Pas-led states.
This follows developments involving Kelantan Bersatu chairman Datuk Kamaruddin Md Nor, whose appointment as state exco for Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage was terminated.
It was reported today that the positions of two other Kelantan Bersatu assemblymen serving as deputy excos are also uncertain.
They are Paloh assemblyman Datuk Shaari Mat Hussain, who holds the Agriculture, Agro-Food Industry and Commodities portfolio, and Gual Ipoh assemblyman Bahari Mohd Nor, who holds the Youth, Sports, NGOs and Community Unity portfolio.
On Tuesday, Kamaruddin, who is also Ayer Lanas assemblyman, confirmed receiving a letter from the state government notifying him of the termination of his exco appointment.
