This Wednesday the three UMNO assemblymen took back their resignation letters to stop the crisis in the country. The Former Terengganu menteri besar Ahmad Said has assured his full support for his successor, Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman.

“I’ll take care of Kemaman (a district in Terengganu) and my constituency (Kijal). If I used to take care of the whole state before, now I’ll be looking after Kemaman. I will help him as long as I serve as an assemblyman,” Ahmad said at a press conference this Wednesday. He also informed that he would continue to serve UMNO. “I’ll help. Just imagine, once we’d lost Terengganu to PAS (1999-2004), I toured the state to win back the state for UMNO, gave talks day and night,” he said.

When asked whether he had betrayed UMNO by quitting the party after his successor was sworn in, Ahmad said, “The question does not arise. This is a matter of struggle. The love for UMNO made me come back. If I were a traitor, I would have affiliated myself with PAS.” Ahmad said he was approached by several PAS members who persuaded him to join the party, but he turned it down. Terengganu had changed in to a battlefield filled with chaos after Ahmad quit UMNO after his successor, Ahmad Razif, who is also Seberang Takir assemblyman, took the oath of office. Ahmad Said’s decision made two more UMNO assemblymen, namely Ghazali Taib (Ajil) and Roslee Daud (Bukit Besi), to follow him but their decision was changed today.
