Isa promises more transparency, sincere and honest governance


Perlis Mentri Besar-designate Datuk Dr Md Isa Sabu has promised more transparency in the state administration and pledged a "sincere and honest" way of governing.

The Bintong assemblyman, who was part of a political impasse over the Menteri Besar post since Friday, also hinted a "total" change of the state leadership, administration and management.

On getting more investments, Md Isa said the state government would seek expertise from Perlis' sons and daughters who work and live in Kuala Lumpur. Job opportunities among the youth and skilled was also a priority in his administration. All federal-level projects like the Northern Corridor Economic Region would continue under the new leadership and there was a need for equal distribution of opportunities, especially of state development projects.
