KOTA BHARU, Nov 11 — Ayer Lanas assemblyman Datuk Kamarudin Md Nor’s appointment as a Kelantan state executive council (exco) member was not renewed, effective November 9.
Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan said the decision had received the consent of the Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Muhammad V.
He said the two portfolios previously held by Kamarudin would be redistributed to two existing exco members to ensure the smooth running of state administration.
“The Tourism and Arts portfolio will be overseen by exco member Hilmi Abdullah, while the Heritage and Culture portfolio will be taken over by Zamakhsyari Mohamad. The decision takes immediate effect,” he said in a statement today.
