Bersatu officials to remain in Kelantan government posts for now

Bersatu party members serving in the Kelantan state government will continue their duties as usual, despite the party announcing the termination of its cooperation with PAS. The decision to end the political partnership took effect on Monday.

Kelantan Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Mohamad Fadhli Hassan confirmed that the positions of Bersatu officials within the state administration remain unchanged for now. He noted that the matter has not yet been discussed by the state government, indicating that the decision announced by the party leadership was primarily an internal party affair.

"The position within the state government has not been discussed yet," Mohamad Fadhli stated. He added that the Deputy Exco for Youth, Sports, NGOs, and Community Unity, Bahari Mohd. Nor, can also continue his duties as normal.

Earlier, Kelantan Bersatu Chairman Datuk Kamarudin Md. Nor had submitted his fate as a state executive council member to the Menteri Besar, Datuk Mohd. Nassuruddin Daud, following PAS's decision to sever political ties with the party. Kamarudin, who also chairs the state's Tourism, Culture, Arts, and Heritage Committee, stated that he continues to perform his duties in the government as usual.

The situation highlights a potential shift in the state's political landscape, as the implications of the Bersatu-PAS split on the coalition government's stability are still being assessed. For now, state executive council members from Bersatu remain in their posts while the state government deliberates on the next steps.
