"In this regard, I suggest that a comprehensive and integrated action plan be drawn up involving all local authorities, state and federal governments in addressing major issues such as health, education and food security.

"May all these efforts be facilitated and blessed, thus being able to raise the standard of living and enhance the overall well-being of the people of Kelantan, God willing," he said.
