PASIR MAS: Wang Ihsan (the goodwill grant) underscores the Federal Government’s commitment, led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, to consistently prioritise the welfare of Kelantan folk despite it being governed by an Opposition party, says Mentri Besar Datuk Nassuruddin Daud.
He said besides the Wang Ihsan allocation, the Prime Minister has also assisted Kelantan in other areas, highlighting the good ties between the federal and state governments.
“I am grateful to the Prime Minister for continuously aiding Kelantan, not only through the Wang Ihsan allocation but also in various other matters.
“The relationship between the federal and state governments has always been good and Anwar’s assurance of assistance for Kelantan is appreciated,” he told reporters at his Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house at Maahad Tahfiz Kampung Meranti here yesterday.
Last week, the Federal Government disbursed goodwill grants amounting to RM172.3mil to Terengganu and RM58.6mil to Kelantan to finance the state governments’ emoluments.
