KUALA KETIL: Caretaker Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor claimed that the plot to arrest and undermine his credibility had been planned six months ago.

The Perikatan Nasional (PN) election director said this was based on information he received from a friend who warned that action would be taken against him following his vocal criticism at certain quarters.

"The plot to arrest me was being planned since six months ago, I already know (about it), I have my own 'intel', I met this person who warned me to watch out for people who want to do (something) to me.

"For security reasons, I always keep a gun in the car. There are two cartridges, 14 bullets per cartridge, I am on alert 24 hours a day... (However) If people don't do bad things (to me), I don't do bad things (to them).

"It has been six months since the warning. (They say) The most important thing is get me in handcuffs, lower my morale and make me lose my credibility.

After that, people will not listen to my ceramah anymore as I've been humiliated," he said during the 'Ceramah Gelombang Perikatan Nasional (PN)' here last night.

Sanusi was arrested by the police at 3am on Tuesday before he was charged in two separate courts in Selayang, for making seditious remarks against the Sultan of Selangor.

Meanwhile, Sanusi said he was disappointed that his request to obtain copies of the two charge sheets was denied by the prosecutors after the court process.

"I respect those in the police force. Don't blame the cops because they are only doing their job based on orders from their superiors up to the minister. The reason for the arrest is to undermine my credibility.

"I was slapped with two charges, but the charge sheets were not given. They were only read to me when I pleaded not guilty. The prosecutor said I can obtain the charge sheets online, but then, they went viral... all these are meant to embarrass me.

"Tonight, I declare that I will raise my hands against (Prime Minister) Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim," he said, adding there was nothing wrong for him to go against Anwar as they were both political opponents. - NST
