Ahmad Said – starting trouble, ending trouble


PETALING JAYA: Former Terengganu Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said’s appointment back in 2008 wasn’t without controversy.

Ahmad’s appointment following the 12th General Election, by the Sultan of Terengganu Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, who was then also the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, was strongly opposed by the state’s 22 Barisan Nasional assemblymen and former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
