PAS Youth will set up a task force to monitor the implementation of the GE14 manifestos for Kelantan and Terengganu.
Its chief Muhammad Khalil Abdul Hadi (pic) said the task force will comprise a mix of PAS members and civilians.
“What we mean by civilians is that we will include NGOs as well as community leaders,” he said after a special meeting among PAS central Youth members on Sunday.
Muhammad Khalil said that leaders from the non-Muslim community will also be included in the task force.
“In Kelantan, we have non-Muslim communities such as the Buddhists and Christians and it is the same in Terengganu,” he said.
However, he did not give an indication on when the task force will be set up, only that it would be soon.
Muhammad Khalil added that unlike other parties that have set timelines to implement promises made in their manifestos, PAS aims to get to work immediately.
“We want to do everything in our power to fulfil as many of the items in the manifestos as soon as possible.
“We don’t put down a timeline of 100-days for example, like other parties,” he said.
In Terengganu, PAS put out a 20-point manifesto in the run up to GE14.
Among the promises included free 20-cubic metres of water for the poor and low-income groups; allocating RM50mil a year to go toward the People’s Housing Loan Fund to help boost home ownership; and create 20,000 jobs opportunities in the next four years.
PAS retook Terengganu after it won 22 out of the 32 state seats as well as six out of the eight parliamentary seats in GE14.
The last time it ruled was after the 10th General Election in 1999.
Meanwhile in Kelantan, PAS promised in its manifesto to strengthen Syariah laws, raise allowances for Imam and Bilal as well as strengthen Islamic tourism.
After GE14, the party entered its seventh term as state government after clinching 34 out of the 45 state seats.-.thestar
