‘Harsh, but true’: Kedah MB stands by gambling remarks, denies targeting Anwar
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has stood by his controversial remark...
Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has defended his controversial comments on gambling, insisting they were directed at gambling tycoons, not Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. He emphasized that the harsh words were true, urging the public to rely on the original source rather than interpretations. Sanusi reiterated his stance at a convention in Alor Setar, stating he would continue to speak out within his authority.
The gambling ban, imposed in November 2021, faced legal challenges, with the High Court and Court of Appeal ruling the decision unconstitutional and unlawful. The Federal Court dismissed Kedah's appeal in August, concluding the legal battle.
