The fighting cock of Terengganu backs off

Man of the hour: Ahmad surrounded by reporters upon his arrival outside the assembly hall at Wisma Darul Iman in Kuala Terengganu.

EVERYONE turned to look at Datuk Seri Ahmad Said when he walked into the state assembly chamber shortly after it started.

He was the only assemblyman wearing a suit and tie while the others were in traditional baju Melayu. He looked well-groomed, his greying hair was neatly cropped and he had posed in a good-natured way for the hoard of reporters camped outside.
