Kelantan Bersatu chief to continue as state exco as directed

Datuk Kamarudin Md. Nor, the Kelantan chairman of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), has affirmed his commitment to continue serving as a state executive councilor. He stated that he will carry out his duties as directed by the Menteri Besar, Datuk Mohd. Nassuruddin Daud, following a meeting last week.

“

Now I am focusing entirely on my work in the field of tourism. There is no discrimination and I receive rather special treatment when I am also absorbed into various committees, even if they are not related to tourism.

Kamarudin, who also chairs the state committee for Tourism, Culture, Arts, and Heritage, reported that his current role is comfortable and free from discrimination. He noted that he has even received special consideration within the executive council, being included in various committees beyond his tourism portfolio. He is currently dedicating his full attention to his responsibilities in the tourism sector.

“

We are only state leaders while decisions are made at the central level. So I leave my position to divine fate and the consideration of the Menteri Besar who has the power to choose the state exco line-up.

Addressing speculation about his political future, Kamarudin stated he is not dwelling on what might happen next. He prefers to leave his position and future decisions to the central party leadership and divine will. As a state-level leader, he believes the ultimate decisions rest with the party's national leadership and the Menteri Besar's authority to appoint executive council members.

“

So I don't think we should waste time and energy thinking about what will happen tomorrow. We do what we can do today and for tomorrow, we do tomorrow.

"We are only state leaders while decisions are made at the central level. So I leave my position to divine fate and the consideration of the Menteri Besar who has the power to choose the state exco line-up," he said. Kamarudin emphasized the importance of focusing on current duties rather than expending energy on uncertain future outcomes. He also dismissed external voices regarding party relations and his position, reiterating that only the Menteri Besar has the authority to implement any changes in the state administration.

“

The Menteri Besar has the power to change the political position in the government administration. As for others (external voices), whatever they want to say, let them say it.
