Shaky start for Pakatan in Kedah


According to Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir(pic), the state government had obtained approval from the federal government to develop the new RM1.6bil airport in the Kuala Muda district.

ALOR SETAR: An air of uncertainty was hanging over Kedah post-GE14 when Pakatan Harapan, despite winning 18 of the 36 state seats, was still unable to form the state government.

It was a clear majority as PAS had 15 seats while the former ruling coalition, Barisan Nasional, was trounced with Umno winning only three seats.
