He said the state government BN would be maintained, even though a win for PAS in the by-election would mean a ratio of 16:16 seats for both parties, resulting in a hung state legislative assembly.
“It’s only that they (BN) would not be able to do as they like. We will play a constructive check-and-balance role in the administration of the state, that is orientated towards the wellbeing of the people in Terengganu,” he told a media conference at the party’s election base in Kampung Baharu here Thursday.
He was reacting to Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein’s statement that PAS’ bid to wrest the hung assembly through populist sentiments and form a new government would not be received favourably by the people.
Meanwhile, Husam who is also PAS director for the by-election accepted the explanation by Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said in regard to the award of land to four BN representatives in the Besut parliamentary constituency.
Ahmad Said had said that it was the policy of the government to award land, be it a residential lot or agricultural land to deserving residents and those who had contributed to the nation.
