Kelantan offered Kamaruddin options before ending exco tenure
BANGI: The Kelantan government held lengthy discussions with Datuk Kamaruddin Md Nor and offered him several options before deciding not to renew his appointment as a state executive councillor (exco).
On November 11, Ayer Lanas assemblyman Datuk Kamarudin Md Nor saw his appointment as a Kelantan state executive council member come to an end, effective November 9. Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan announced the decision with the Sultan of Kelantan's consent. He revealed that Kamarudin's previous portfolios would be redistributed among two existing exco members to guarantee the seamless functioning of state administration.
The Tourism and Arts portfolio will now be managed by exco member Hilmi Abdullah, while the Heritage and Culture portfolio will be handled by Zamakhsyari Mohamad. The change took immediate effect. In a statement, the state government expressed their appreciation and gratitude to Kamarudin for his service and commitment during his tenure on the Kelantan exco.
They acknowledged his dedication to fulfilling the responsibilities entrusted to him throughout his term. Earlier, media outlets reported that Kamarudin was informed by a letter terminating his exco appointment, although he did not disclose its contents at the time. Kamarudin had previously managed the Tourism, Culture, Arts, and Heritage portfolio.
