The humble Kelantan Chief Minister Nik Aziz Nik Mat (Ayah Zid) and JKR 10 residence

by CJCM on December 16th, 2007

This pious Kelantan Chief Minister, known as Ayah Zid among the Kelantanese (yours truly included), actually has an official Chief Minister residence more popularly known as JKR 10 in Kota Bharu. But being a humble Menteri Besar he is, Ayah Zid chooses not to live at the official Chief Minister residence. Instead he chooses to live in his own house in Pulau Melaka (where yours truly was born and grew up). Ayah Zid only stays at the official residence JKR 10 occassionally.

Ayah Zid proves he is a worthy Islamic leader yet again when he allows his official residence JKR 10 to be used to provide shelter for the current flood victims in Kota Bharu.

HarakahDaily reported 265 flood victims from a total of 69 families had been staying at the hall of the formal Menteri Besar residence since the last three days…

Mungkin tidak berlaku di tempat lain, namun ianya berlaku di negeri Kelantan, apabila Menteri Besarnya, Tuan Guru Dato’ Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, menjadikan kediaman rasminya JKR 10, sebagai tempat perpindahan mangsa banjir.

Seramai 265 orang dari 69 keluarga telah bermalam di dewan kediaman rasmi Menteri Besar, yang terletak di Kampung Sireh sejak tiga hari lalu.

Rumah rasmi tersebut sudah dua kali dijadikan tempat perpindahan mangsa banjir di mana buat kali pertamanya pada tahun 2004.

Mangsa yang kesemuanya tinggal di Kampung Sireh termasuk sekeluarga dari masyarakat Cina bersyukur kerana diberi peluang berada di situ.

Rata-rata mangsa banjir ditemui melahirkan rasa seronok berada di situ sehingga dapat melupai masaalah yang berlaku pada mereka.

Seorang warga Cina, Kang King Liean, ketika ditemui melahirkan rasa seronok ditempatkan di situ.

Katanya, walaupun hanya beliau bersama ibu serta anaknya Robert Lim, yang berbangsa Cina, namun mangsa yang lain melayan keluarganya begitu baik sekali.

“Saya tidak menghadapi sebarang masaalah di sini, mereka yang senasib dengan saya, semuanya baik dan tidak ada masalah langsung.

Despite Ayah Zid’s humbleness, there were many occasions where Pak Lah and other BN leaders outside Kelantan visited the state without paying courtesy visit to Ayah Zid, the No 1 man in-charge of the state of Kelantan. Imagine when you visit some one’s house and totally ignore the man who owns the house while you are busy around his house.

That aside, if only Pak Lah or other BN Chief Ministers will do the same with their official residences. Now who is the best Chief Minister and political leader in Malaysia when it comes to working for the people? You decide.
