Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman assured nothing untoward will take place on Monday when the state assembly convenes.
He was commenting on the crisis in the Umno-led state government that has deepened over the past week with former menteri besar Ahmad Said calling for Razif to step down.
"Nothing (will happen). Nothing. God willing I feel there is nothing that needs to be raised further, because I feel there is (no cause for concern).
"Conditions in the state are stable," he told reporters at the Terengganu open house in Putrajaya today.
"God willing there will be nothing out of the ordinary," he said, calling for all to instead move forward for the benefit of the state.
'Storm in a teacup'
The embattled menteri besar also waved off the crisis as a "storm in a teacup" and a domestic quarrel.
"As I have said before, the turbulence in the state is like a storm in a teacup.
"This happens everywhere. I feel there is no need to be concerned," said Razif.
"Even husbands and wives have tension, what more siblings.
"This (the current crisis) is simply a brotherly spat," he said.
Both Ahmad Said, who is Kijal assemblyperson, and Ajil assemblyperson Ghazali Taib have been critical of Razif's administration.
Both have threatened to quit but are presently still with Umno.
The ruling party has a slim state majority of 17 seats to PAS' 14 and PKR one seat.
The state Umno government nearly collapsed in 2014 when the two rebels quit the party after Ahmad Said was removed as MB.
The duo subsequently retracted their resignations.
