KUALA TERENGGANU: Kijal assemblyman Datuk Ahmad Said began his first day of work as Terengganu Mentri Besar at the MB's office in Wisma Darul Iman here at 8am on Tuesday.
His supporters had gathered outside and there was a heavy police presence, but no untoward incidents were reported.
In one of his first statements as MB, he said he intended to continue the good work of his predecessor Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh.
"It would have been difficult not to accept the position of Terengganu Mentri Besar as I had been selected by the palace," he said after assuming the office Tuesday.
He was also hopeful that the 22 assemblymen who had protested his appointment would "cool down soon" to pave the way for him to appoint his executive councillors.
