Federal govt always strives to build good rapport with opposition- led states - PM

BUKIT MERTAJAM - The Federal government always strives to build a good rapport with the opposition-led state governments to ensure that the welfare and wellbeing of the people are always being put first in line with the MADANI concept.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this was proved when the federal government continues to prioritise any urgent needs or requests made by the state governments, regardless of political differences.

For example, he said the federal government had agreed to intensify the flood mitigation project in Sungai Golok, Kelantan, following the rampant flood woes in the state led by Perikatan Nasional (PN).

"The issue of floods is serious because the flood in Kelantan is much worse in Kelantan than in Permatang Pauh (here in Penang). So even if we can help the people here, we still have to give priority to Kelantan even when they are led by a different party. This is a fact,” he said at the launch of the Masjid Mengkuang Titi project here today.
