KUALA TERENGGANU: Incom-petent chairmen and members of Village Development and Security Committees (JKKKs) have been advised to resign as they only burden the people.
Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said said he was disappointed that dates and zamzam water given by the Terengganu government were not distributed to the people properly.
“Some JKKKs took the dates to mosques and did not distribute them door-to-door as instructed.
“As such, some people did not receive them,” he said at a buka puasa hosted by Kuala Nerus MP Datuk Mohd Nasir Ibrahim Fikri on Saturday.
In conjunction with this year’s Ramadan, the Terengganu government allocated RM7.8mil worth of dates and zamzam water for distribution to 300,000 Muslim families.
Ahmad also said the state planned to turn Kuala Nerus into a district after a motion to the effect was passed in Parliament and the State Assembly.
“We are looking for a site for an administrative centre for Kuala Nerus,” he said.
Terengganu presently has seven districts: Kuala Terengganu, Hulu Terengganu, Setiu, Besut, Marang, Dungun and Kemaman. — Bernama
