Idris Declined Exco Post, Says Ahmad - Bernama

KUALA TERENGGANU, April 9 (Bernama) -- Former Terengganu menteri besar Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh declined an offer to be included in the state executive council (exco) lineup as he wanted to concentrate on looking after his constituency, Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said said Wednesday.

"I made him the offer but he declined saying he wanted to concentrate on constituency matters," he said when asked by reporters if he had offered the Jertih assemblyman any post in the exco lineup.

Earlier, he had chaired the exco's first meeting at Wisma darul Aman here.

Asked about Datuk Rosol Wahid (Ajil) and Din Adam (Bukit Besi), who were formerly exco members but were made deputy chairmen of state executive committees this time around, Ahmad said: "This is normal in politics."
