“This aid is also extended to politically appointed officials, council members, teachers, state assembly coordinators and religious teachers,” he said at an event in Kota Bharu.

However, he did not specify when the payment would be made.

During the event, Nassuruddin also announced seven commitments of the state government within the first 100 days of administration, including the establishment of a special task force aimed at “rebranding” Air Kelantan Sdn Bhd (AKSB).

The Meranti assemblyman said the rebranding exercise included appointing board members who were experts in the water supply industry and strengthening AKSB’s corporate system, information delivery and complaint management.

He added that the state government’s investment arm, Invest Kelantan Bhd, would play a more significant role as a one-stop centre for investment advisory, promotion and facilitation of investments.

“The collaboration between Invest Kelantan and the Kelantan land commissioner will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the investments in the state,” he said.
