Saya cuba untuk tidak mengkritik Menteri Besar Kelantan kerana dia seorang yang tidak boleh dikritik. Tetapi apakan daya, saya rasa Tuan Guru Menteri Besar Kelantan sudah tidak lagi sedar apa yang diperkatakannya dan sudah ingat-ingat lupa banyak benda.

Di dada akhbar-akhbar hari ini terbentang nasihat Nik Aziz kepada pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat seperti berikut, 

KOTA BARU: Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat yesterday reminded Pakatan Rakyat leaders that they risk losing their hold on power if they let corruption become their culture

He said Parti Keadilan Rakyat and DAP leaders, who controlled state governments in Selangor and Penang, should not use their position to enrich themselves or their cronies. 

“I have to remind them because they are new to governing the states. If they adopt the culture of corruption, I fear they will lose power as the people will reject them.” 

He said this after holding a reception for a group of 70 PKR members from the Indian community in Kapar, Selangor, at the menteri besar’s official residence here. Their two-day visit to Kelantan was organised by Kapar member of parliament S. Manikavasagam. 

Nik Aziz said his advice to his allies was based on his experience as a state government leader for almost 20 years. 

“They are new and at an early stage of tasting power. I hope that power will not lull them into complacency and self-indulgence at the expense of providing service to the people. 

“Pakatan Rakyat leaders should not be upset with my reminder because I am an old hand in politics.

”They have only been in power for about two years, whereas I have been running the state government for 20 years,” he said. 



Kenyataan Nik Aziz ini tentu meloyakan banyak pihak kerana kebelakangan ini telah terbongkar pelbagai kisah yang besertakan fakta-fakta berhubung amalan kronisme, nepotisme dan juga rasuah di dalam Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan yang sudah hampir 20 tahun di terajui oleh Nik Aziz. Antaranya yang sudah terbongkar dan akan terus terbongkar ialah isu-isu berkaitan dengan Razak Abas, Roshaimi Razak, Nudin Awang dan anak menantu Nik Aziz sendiri seperti Nik Abduh dan Abdul Ariffahmi.

Sebelum ini heboh bagaimana Nik Aziz mendakwa Nudin Awang yang disebut akan menajanya, isterinya dan anaknya dengan pakej RM65 ribu sekepala ke Mekah, tidak pernah menerima sebarang projek dari Kerajaan Negeri. Malangnya, telah terbongkar seminggu kemudian bahawa syarikat di mana Nudin adalah Ahli Lembaga Pengarah telah menerima berpulu-puluh ribu ekar tanah balak dari Agensi Kerajaan di mana Nik Aziz adalah pengerusinya atas kapasitinya sebagai MB Kelantan. 

Kemudian kecoh pula soal menantunya yang Nik Aziz lantik sebagai CEO Perbadanan Menteri Besar Kelantan. Dan di dalam berita yang sama hari ini, Nik Aziz turut berkata seperti berikut, 

Nik Aziz also denied a claim that the state government has sold “Rumah Kelantan”, a state-owned official residence located in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle.

He said the Rumah Kelantan site in Jalan Conlay would be redeveloped into an 18-storey building.

 

Bernama yesterday published a report on its website quoting Kota Baru Umno chief Datuk Fatmi Che Salleh as saying that Rumah Kelantan had been sold to a businessman and the proceeds from the sale were used to cover the state government expenditure. 
 


He said it was a complicated process for the state government to get the project off the ground. 

”My son-in-law (Abdul Ariffahmi Abdul Rahman, who is chief executive officer of Kelantan Menteri Besar Incorporated) had to shuttle between Kelantan and Kuala Lumpur many times to complete the various procedures regarding the project.”  di petik dari NST Online.

Yang jelas ialah Nik Aziz berkata, menantunya tidak menjual tanah tapak Rumah Kelantan di Jalan Stonor kepada pemaju. Apa yang Nik Aziz tidak kata atau nafikan bahawa menantunya telah memberi secara percuma tanah itu kepada pemaju seperti tanah tapak Bazar Tok Guru. 

Apakah ini benar? Saya suka mendengar bagaimana Exco-Exco Kelantan yang bijak Ekonomi memberi penjelasan terlebih dahulu.
