TERENGGANU CRISIS OVER -AHMAD AS MB

The Terengganu political crisis can be considered superficially ended when the Umno supreme council has agreed to endorse Datuk Ahmad Said's palace appointment as Terengganu Mentri Besar.

It seems that this is the best way to resolve the political crisis by UMNO supreme council. Legally, now UMNO’s man for Terengganu is Datuk Ahmad Said.

He can be relieved from facing expulsion thus ending an impasse that had threatened to turn into a constitutional crisis.

Idris, who also took part in the meeting, had been directed to accept the endorsement.

Abdullah said, the priority now was for Ahmad to put together a State Exco line-up as soon as possible, denying that decision to endorse Ahmad "humiliated" him and the party.
