KT Chinese Associations Strike An Accord On Whom To Vote (K.Terengganu Election)

President of Terengganu Chinese Town Hall Fu Zhiwan said, the 32 Chinese associations in Kuala Terengganu had struck an accord that they wanted to see sustained developments for the state capital after the by-election, and would therefore vote for whoever that would bring more developments to the state, in particular Kuala Terengganu.

However, they fell short of specifying whether BN or PAS candidates would get their support.

BN has brought a number of major construction projects to Terengganu, including the expansion of Sultan Mahmud Airport, hypermarkets and business opportunities to stimulate the state's commercial activities, since the party took over the state in 2004.

Fu said, after the Chinese Town Hall had secured the RM3.3 million allocation from the state government to finance the construction of its hall, the 32 Chinese associations in Kuala Terengganu had struck an accord to unanimously support the government that would bring developments to the state.

Fu said since the BN government was returned to Terengganu, it had met almost all the needs of the local Chinese community, be it for schools, civic organisations, temples or charitable institutions.

As such, the state Chinese association representatives had been very contented with the existing state government, as it had satisfied their fundamental requirements while offering various privileges and allocations from time to time.

It has been said that representatives from the 32 Chinese associations would attend a dinner with deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on Friday night, and express to him the aspirations of the Chinese associations.
