DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang’s statement that he hoped to see Kelantan Amanah adviser Husam Musa be the next Kelantan menteri besar was said in his personal capacity, said Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub.
Salahuddin said the party has many other qualified candidates for the post if Pakatan Harapan captures the state.
“It is an individual right for anyone to name a (menteri besar candidate) and we are not tied to the opinions. The one who gets the majority will be given the responsibility,” he said in response to Lim’s statement last week.
Salahuddin also refused to confirm whether Husam will be opposition’s menteri besar candidate for Kelantan.
“There are others who are qualified. Today, we have a group of leaders and what’s important is to serve the people first,” he said in response to a question on whether Husam is qualified for the post.
He said the party was focused on serving the people and winning elections and it was up to voters to pick the most suitable candidate to lead the state.
Following a visit to Kelantan recently, Lim endorsed Husam as the next Kelantan MB.
He also criticised PAS for copying the Umno cybertroopers’ attack in its response to his statement. – July 3, 2017.
