ALOR SETAR: The political secretary to Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor (pic) denies that the Kedah Mentri Besar violated standard operating procedures (SOP) during the lockdown by going for a test drive here on Saturday (June 5).
Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden said his boss was on his way to Kuala Lumpur from Alor Setar when he stopped near a car showroom to buy food before entering the highway and was not taking a vehicle for a test drive.
"Sanusi was with his driver and a policeman when he decided to buy food there. It is a coincidence that the car showroom is located next to a restaurant," he said on Facebook.
Afnan said Sanusi was travelling for an important matter and the Mentri Besar was allowed to cross district and state borders.
On Saturday (June 5), social media was abuzz after a post containing photos and videos of an individual believed to be Sanusi taking a car for a test drive during the lockdown.
The original post has since been deleted.
Meanwhile, Central Seberang Prai OCPD Asst Comm Shafee Abd Samad said police are probing the allegations that the Kedah Mentri Besar has violated the SOP during the lockdown.
He said the matter will be investigated under Section 269 of the Penal Code and Regulation 17 (1) of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures in Local Infectious Areas) Regulations 2021. - Star
