Parti Amanah Negara’s Datuk Husam Musa said he will submit four proposals on Kelantan’s economic development related to the oil and gas (O&G) industry to Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

Husam, who is Kota Baru Amanah chief and adviser to the party, said the proposals that will be sent following the conclusion to the Sabah state election, were previously submitted to former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad by way of four letters last year.

“Even though Kelantan is under the leadership of PAS, I as a senator have written at least four letters to Dr Mahathir in an effort to further improve Kelantan’s economy.

“God willing these proposals will be submitted after the Sabah state election. If before this I have not copied to the state government, it will be sent to the mentri besar this time,” he was quoted as saying by Sinar Harian.

Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS), a federal opposition party that has controlled Kelantan for 29 years wants the funds from Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad’s government, as promised in PH’s election manifesto.
