KUALA NERUS: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pic) has given an assurance that the Federal Government will give immediate attention to the landslide issues around the Kenyir Lake for the safety of the people of Terengganu.
He said that although Terengganu is an opposition state, the Federal and state governments must face and solve the people’s problems together.
"I was just told that the problem at the Kenyir Lake is the occurrence of landslides and I have discussed with the Chief Secretary to the Government (Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali) that if it is really a pressing issue, if it is to protect the safety of the Kenyir Lake area and Terengganu because of water overflow and the damage that may occur, then surely I will give it immediate attention.
"Although the Menter Besar (Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar) is from another party, that is not an issue.
"If the problem affects the people, then we must face it together," he said at the Prime Minister’s Malaysia Madani breaking of fast event with the people of Terengganu at Dewan Sultan Mizan, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, here, on Saturday (April 15).
The event, which was also attended by Ahmad Samsuri and Mohd Zuki, attracted about 1,500 students and people from around Kuala Nerus to break fast with the Prime Minister.
