KOTA BARU: The relationship between Kelantan state government and the Federal government has been good in the first year of Pakatan Harapan's (PH) administration, Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob said.
He said despite some weaknesses in certain areas, he was happy with the media openness championed by PH and the well-improved staff relationships.
“We have a good government-to-government relationship despite being from different parties and having different ideologies.
“We respect the (Federal) government as it has been elected by the people,” he said after opening the Madinah Ramadan programme at the compound of Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium here Friday night.
PH has just celebrated their first anniversary in power last Thursday after successfully toppling Barisan Nasional (BN) at the 14th General Election (GE14) on May 9 last year.
For the second year of PH administration, Ahmad, who is also Pas deputy spiritual leader, said he hoped the government would focus on implementing their manifesto and fulfilling all the promises they made to the people prior to GE14.
“We, too, are working hard to fulfill the pledges in our own manifesto, especially when we get our oil royalty.” he added. -- BERNAMA
