Kelantan struggling, says Hadi, indirectly pinning blame on PM








Kelantan struggling, says Hadi, indirectly pinning blame on PM


PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang has blasted those who "belittled" PAS' struggle and who have accused the party of not caring about the welfare of the people in Kelantan.

Without mentioning any names, the PAS president appeared to blame Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim for being the reason why the state government was blocked from receiving aid from the federal government.

This includes issues of supply of clean water, housing, and basic necessities.

In a Facebook post uploaded today, Hadi (above) expressed the difficulties that PAS faced when it was persistently trying to fulfil its responsibilities as a state government.

"However, PAS faces many restrictions from the (federal) government, starting with Kelantan, from the time the current prime minister became finance minister until today.


PAS has governed Kelantan since 1990 and it has consistently proved to be among Malaysia's worst-performing economies.

In 1991, Anwar became the finance minister replacing Daim Zainuddin.

He then became the party’s deputy president as well as deputy prime minister and remained in the position until he was dismissed from the party and government on Sept 2, 1998.

The prime minister at that time was Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who mobilised the recent Malay Proclamation initiative. Mahathir and another prime minister Najib Abdul Razak also served as finance ministers while occupying the premier role.

According to Hadi, Kelantan and Terengganu’s oil royalties are denied by Putrajaya, but the situation is different when Sabah and Sarawak are involved.


Limited financial resources

The Marang MP questioned if the ruling stemmed from "Islamic principles" implemented by PAS in the states it governs.

Meanwhile, Hadi claimed when faced with limited financial resources, PAS proved that it is capable of governing the state with integrity and trustworthiness.

He stated that the issues faced by the residents of the PAS-governed state remained unresolved even during the previous government's tenure under BN.

He alleged that when PAS formed the state government, the party was faced with various restrictions and bureaucratic issues.

"They (BN) did not do that to Singapore when it was part of Malaysia before," he said.

Hadi continued to criticise Anwar, as finance minister, for failing to revoke gambling premises licences in Kelantan and restricting the sale of alcohol to non-Muslims as implemented by PAS in 1990.

  1. Anwar Ibrahim has been PM for 6 months, ..so all of Kelantan's problems were caused by last 6 months Anwar Administration...

    I guess die-hard PUS fans in Kelantan and maybe a few other states will believe this

  2. Hadi is very similar to the old baboon - blame everybody else for their failures.

    Because PAS promotes life after death as being more important, Hadi and his gang conveniently neglects basic needs like good water supply and system.

    The poor rural folks have all this while been conned by Hadi and PAS. But I dont see them (the ignorant folks) escaping from the mind control exerted by PAS.
