Kelantan Menteri Besar Nassuruddin Daud today said that Putrajaya has approved almost all development and infrastructure projects his state administration had requested.

The PAS leader's admission in the Kelantan state assembly comes just days after Economy Minister Akmal Nasrullah Nasir rejected claims that Putrajaya had sidelined Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis, citing billions of ringgit in federal development commitments to the four states.

Nassuruddin said close cooperation between federal and state agencies helped secure approvals for major infrastructure projects.

"We have received approval for almost everything we requested, including the Lebir Dam. I would like to express my gratitude because once these projects are completed, job opportunities will also be created," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.
