PAS TO SET UP ADVISORY PANEL
This is to ensure GE14 pledges are realised in Kelantan, Terengganu, says Takiyuddin
PAS will set up a government advisory council for Kelantan and Terengganu to ensure that all the pledges in its manifesto for the 14th General Election (GE14) are implemented successfully in the two states.
Its secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan said the council would be chaired by Pas president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, while his deputy Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man would serve as the deputy chairman.
“There will be several eminent persons with vast experience in the public sector as well as government officers with specific expertise on the council.
“It will also comprise several Pas leaders and a panel of consultants to ensure that the party’s manifesto for GE14 to improve the public wellbeing can be implemented,” he said at the Pas’ Aidilfitri event here yesterday.
He said although Pas had been ruling Kelantan for 28 years, the government advisory council needed to be set up for the state to ensure that the party could fulfil all the promises made to the people in its manifesto.
Takiyuddin said Pas would organise its muktamar (general assembly) and Convention of Pas Supporters in Terengganu from Sept 14 to 16.
“The Pas Central Committee meeting yesterday decided that the Central Pas general assembly will be held at the Gong Badak Indoor Stadium in Kuala Nerus, while the Dewan Pemuda general assembly will be held at the state stadium in Kuala Terengganu.
“The Dewan Muslimat general assembly will be held at the Islamic Civilisation Park while the Permai Hotel will host the Dewan Ulama general assembly.
“Pas will also invite representatives from opposition parties, including Umno, as well as other Islamic movements from other countries to observe the assemblies,” he added.
