Awang Adek's return to politics after two-year US stint boon to Kelantan: Mustapa

MACHANG: The decision of former Malaysian ambassador to the United States Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussain (pix) to be active again in politics will greatly impact the development in the state.
Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee Chairman Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said this was due to the experience Awang Adek, who is also Bachok Umno chief, went through in the United States for more than two years.

"This is especially so in economy and politics for the benefit of Malaysians especially in Kelantan," he said when met by reporters at a gathering with the staff of the Machang Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) here, today.

On Friday, Awang Adek announced that he would return to the political arena, specifically to strengthen Kelantan Umno's position in facing the 14th general election, after concluding his duty as Malaysian ambassador to the United States on July 7. — Bernama
