Kedah MB claims he is barred from attending federal govt events

Sanusi Nor says this is the 'latest decision' made by Anwar Ibrahim's Cabinet.

Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Nor said he is not allowed to attend the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition in May.
PETALING JAYA:
Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Nor claims he has been barred from attending events organised by the federal government, including the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) in May.

“The 10th prime minister’s latest Cabinet decision: barring the Kedah menteri besar from any federal government events, including LIMA in Langkawi.

“What to do?” he said in a Facebook post, without elaborating.

FMT has reached out to the Prime Minister’s Office for comment.

Anwar had filed a defamation suit against Sanusi in December last year over remarks the PAS leader had made in a campaign speech during the last general election.

Anwar alleged that Sanusi’s remarks implied that he had abused his powers as an MP, was deceitful, a traitor, a hypocrite, and not a good Muslim.

In his defence last month, Sanusi said his remarks on Anwar were based on matters which were derived from public records going back to 1998 when he was sacked from the government.

Anwar had said the defamation suit filed against Sanusi would not affect cooperation between the Kedah and federal governments.
