PASIR PUTEH, Aug 9 — The Unity Government has given an assurance that it will attract more foreign and domestic investments to Kelantan if the Barisan Nasional (BN)-Pakatan Harapan (Harapan) alliance wins the Aug 12 state election.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said that this is one area the alliance will focus on, besides the education sector and creating job opportunities for the people of Kelantan.
“We will bring more foreign investors to Kelantan and then provide job opportunities.
“We do not want Kelantan folk to be jobless and eventually have to go elsewhere to look for jobs,” he said at the Pasir Puteh BN-Harapan Machinery and Supporters Gathering at Kampung Pulau Lima Uthmaniyah open hall here today.
Also present were Umno secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, Kelantan UMNO chairman Datuk Ahmad Jazlan Yaakub and Pasir Puteh Umno Division chief Datuk Zawawi Othman.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid, who is also BN chairman, stressed that Islam has never been (nor will it ever be) challenged under the Unity Government.
He said, allocations for Islamic affairs and institutions have continued to increase since the Unity Government ruled the country.
“Since taking over, has Islam been threatened or challenged?
“Instead, there have been more allocations compared with the time of the previous three prime ministers.”
