Please check your name and your rating in Kelantan Chess Network here.
One noticeable presence is Abdullah Che Hassan. According to the rules and regulations, the participants must be in either of these conditions (and prove it with documentations):
1) born in Kelantan
2) one of the parents was born in Kelantan
3) live / work / study in Kelantan
So, Abdullah, whose father is a Kelantanese, IS ELIGIBLE to play for Kelantan.
I also received news that Muhammad bin Arshad (Yes, THAT Muhammad bin Arshad) had asked to play in this Kelantan Closed, because of that second condition. This sparks a debate what if he is ever selected, and if Terengganu also comes calling? Thus, we had a meeting between the organising committees and we conclude that he IS ELIGIBLE to play for Kelantan also.
A condition is added to both players though - that they will not play for other state this year. If the added condition is breached, they will not be permitted to play in Kelantan Closed ever again.
