BACHOK: Just being able to collect RM34 million in taxes annually clearly shows that the Kelantan economy is in bad shape, said Deputy Finance Minister Senator Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin.

KELANTAN police will go "all-out" to track down the state's unruly football fans who caused a ruckus during the Malaysia Cup football final between Kelantan and Negeri Sembilan at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, on Nov 7.

Kelantan police chief Datuk Abd Rahim Hanafi said he had been contacted by Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Muhammad Sabtu Osman on the matter.

Muhammad had said that police were establishing the identity of the fans from the recording of the closed circuit television cameras at the stadium.

THE fourth son of the Sultan of Kelantan, Tengku Temenggong Muhammad Fakhry is reported ready to divorce his 'runaway' wife, Manohara Odelia Pinot who claimed  she had been abused by her husband.

“We have been punished enough by the ban on home matches ... the ban has a ected the team 100 per cent,” said the Englishman, whose team have lost three league matches in a row since the defeat by Selangor in the FA Cup  nal last month.

KELANTAN are preparing for “life without Halim (Napi)” to continue their fairytale run in this year’s M-League and coach Peter Butler believes that his team can still go far in all competition without the former international.

The veteran 39-year old goalkeeper has probably seen the last of his football career after he punched and kicked Negri Sembilan defender Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak after Kelantan’s 1-0 defeat in the first-leg FA Cup semifinal match on Tuesday.
