Without specifying the number of promises fulfilled, he said some promises were in the implementation processes while others needed a bit more time to carry out due to inadequate information.
“Among the promises that can be implemented are the death benefits to be launched next month, including the Special Women’s Fund, while the chronic patients’ fund and the mobile shariah court have been launched,” he said.
He said this after the winding up session on the motion of thanks to the Sultan of Kedah at the state assembly at Wisma Darul Aman here today.
Mukhriz said the state government would continue to seek the best way to solve the problems of the people related to the promises which could not be implemented within the 100-day period.
“In general, I am satisfied with what the state government has done with the help of all parties because what were promised in the Pakatan Harapan GE14 manifesto for the Kedah state has been endorsed as a state government’s pledge by the Kedah state executive council.
“Since then, the entire state government machinery has been working to make every one of these promises successful… there were things when making this manifesto, certain information was not accessible to us, we only knew the information after becoming the new government.”
Asked on the pledges which were difficult to fulfil, Mukhriz said the promise was to address the problem of water supply disruption as it required sufficient funds for improvements to related infrastructure.
He said some water issues were promptly resolved while others needed a longer period of time, such as the problem with low water pressure.
“… for the long term, we would definitely need a favour from the federal government, the state government should finally decide whether our water infrastructure needs us to migrate to PAAB (Pengurusan Aset Air Berhad) under the federal government.
On allegations that the state government failed to fulfil its promise to review the involvement of politicians in the Kedah Football Association (KFA), he said he was appointed president of the association at the request of the KFA affiliates as no other name was nominated.
The 10 promises include to overcome the problem of water supply disruption, provide death benefits to all races and religions within 24 hours, to review politicians’ involvement in the Kedah Football Association (KFA), and establishing a chronic disease fund and dialysis centre.
Others are the establishment of a Special Women’s Fund, ensuring one family one home, opening the ‘Youth City’, promoting domestic agriculture, introducing a mobile shariah court and establishing a task force to solve the land problems.
