PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has dismissed Sanusi Nor’s claim that a plot was devised six months ago to arrest him and damage his credibility.
At a Perikatan Nasional rally near Sungai Petani, Kedah, last night, the caretaker Kedah menteri besar claimed that he found out about this purported scheme from someone who warned him that action would be taken after his open criticism of certain parties.
“I don’t need to comment because that’s a matter for the police,” said Anwar, according to a Berita Harian report.
“We know how he (Sanusi) is … he has new theories everyday.”
Anwar was speaking to reporters after a gathering with Felda settlers in Gua Musang, Kelantan, today.
Sanusi, the Perikatan Nasional election director, was arrested by the police at 3am on Tuesday before being charged at the Selayang sessions court with two counts of sedition against royalty.
The charges relate to a speech he made at a ceramah in Gombak, Selangor, on July 11. Sanusi has said the charges against him are politically motivated.
On Thursday, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) said Sanusi will be called in to give his statement in its investigation into alleged corruption and illegal rare earths mining in Kedah.
Sanusi has promised to give MACC his full cooperation, adding that he is willing to assist the anti-graft agency “25 hours a day, eight days a week”. - FMT
