Ahmad to step down as MB


Bid adieu: Ahmad shows off his inked finger after casting his vote at SMK Kampung Laut in Tumpat, Kelantan.

KOTA BARU: Datuk Ahmad Yakob is stepping down from the Kelantan Mentri Besar post that he had held for two terms since May 6, 2013, due to health reasons.

“I don’t want to be Mentri Besar anymore because I suffered two falls recently, which possibly caused a slipped disc, and I also have heart problems,” Ahmad, 73, told reporters at SMK Kampung Laut voting station in Tumpat.
