KONTRAK DATUK BANDAR ALOR STAR TELAH TAMAT

Khidmat Dato Mukti Abdullah sebagai Dato Bandar Majlis Bandaraya Alor Star dikatakan tidak disambung oleh kerajaan negeri.

Menurut sumber Wisma darulaman, kontrak Dato Mukti tidak akan disambung dan keputusan mengenai perkara itu telahpun dimaklumkan kepada beliau.

"Kerajaan negeri kini sedang menimbang beberapa orang calon yang akan dilantik sebagai Dato Bandar" jelas sumber itu.

Nama-nama mereka yang bakal dilantik dimaklumkan akan dihantar untuk mendapat berkenan KDYMM Sultan Kedah.

"MB dijangka membuat pengumuman siapa yang bakal menduduki kerusi panas itu sedikit masa lagi" kata sumber itu lagi.

Dalam pada itu, beberapa anggota KCS nyata kecewa dengan keputusan itu.

Menurut mereka Dato Mukhti mempunyai rekod yang cemerlang sepanjang kerjayanya.Beliau merupakan seorang Ketua yang sanngup mendengar masalah anggota. Keputusan yang beliau ambil jika membuat sesuatu tugas akan mengambil kira kewangan Majlis.

"kami sendiripun confuse apa kreteria sebenarnya yang diguna pakai untuk proses sambung kontrak ini. Sepatutnya yang tidak disambung kontrak adalah Dato Syed Unan tetapi kini Dato Mukti pula yang dilihat seolah-olah jadi mangsa dalam game ini" jelas beliau yang enggan namanya disiarkan.

Antara yang disebut-sebut bakal mengisi jawatan Dato Bandar MBAS ialah Pengarah UPEN, Dato Bisharuddin Jamil...WALLAHUALAM
