Sorry for ‘inappropriate’ remarks: Sanusi to PM, cabinet at Raya event

Kedah MB also says people’s interest more important than political power, expresses hope for federal govt to not sideline state

JITRA – Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor apologised to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and cabinet members who attended the state-level Madani Aidilfitri celebration last night.

Speaking at the event, Sanusi sought forgiveness for making inappropriate remarks that could jeopardise the ‘hablumminnas’ (relationship with other humans) aspect throughout his tenure as menteri besar and in a political capacity. 

“As fallible human beings, errors and mistakes are inevitable. May this Syawal get-together be the reason for us to turn over a new leaf together, moving forward with pure intent, sincerity, and responsibility,” he said. 

Sanusi stressed that the interests of the people should precede the eagerness to maintain political power, adding that all political matters should be dealt with in the political arena. 

He also hoped the federal government would always give attention to and not sideline the state.  

Sanusi expressed appreciation to the prime minister for paying attention to development projects in the state, especially in the rural areas. 

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and several cabinet members attended the event along with 15,000 people. – May 5, 2024
