Sanusi invites Ramkarpal to ‘give a talk’ on gambling in Kedah

KEDAH Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has poked fun at Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh, suggesting that the DAP lawmaker be invited to give a talk to Muslims in Kedah on why they should not gamble. According to reports in Harian Metr...

Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor quipped that he would invite DAP lawmaker Ramkarpal Singh to speak in Kedah about the reasons why Muslims should refrain from gambling. Sanusi made the comment while referring to Ramkarpal's demand that the state government respect the Federal Court's decision not to renew gambling licences.

The Federal Court had dismissed Kedah's appeal to reverse the ruling which barred the issuance and renewal of gambling licences. Sanusi clarified that halting gambling cannot be achieved solely through this decision, as the Federal Court turned down their request to appeal. He suggested that Ramkarpal be invited to address Muslims on the topic of abstaining from gambling, echoing Ramkarpal's proposal.

The final decision on gambling licenses is reserved for the Finance Ministry, currently under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's control.
