PETALING JAYA: The Terengganu Mentri Besar and his fellow administrators in the 11-member state executive council will be forgoing a month of their salary and donating it to the Palestinians. “God willing, my fellow state exco members and I have decided to take a one-month pay cut in aid of the Palestinian people who are currently fighting against the Jewish Zionists," said Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar (pic) in a Facebook post on Friday (May 14). He accompanied the post with a news article from TV Darul Iman, the state video channel, saying that the aid will be channelled to the #Aid4Palestine fund. The Mentri Besar said the move has also received support from government backbenchers in Terengganu who have agreed to contribute RM3,000 each towards the fund. Government-linked companies in the state, too, have so far raised RM100,000 for the cause, Ahmad Samsuri was also quoted as saying.
