Selangor Sultan says Sanusi matter ‘not yet resolved’

KUALA LUMPUR — The Selangor Royal Office today said the matter between PAS politician Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor and state monarch Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah is not yet over.

The palace said Sultan Sharafuddin gave an audience to Selangor PAS commissioner Datuk Ahmad Yunus Hairi and the state police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan at Istana Bukit Kayangan here.

“This separate meeting discussed the statement issued by the Menteri Besar of Kedah, Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor in one of his talks in Selangor recently, which was considered insulting to the Selangor Royal Institution.

“His Royal Highness said that this matter is not yet resolved,” it said in a statement.

The matter between the Selangor Ruler and Sanusi who is currently the caretaker menteri besar of Kedah is said to have started during a recent Perikatan Nasional (PN) programme in the state where it is the Opposition, ahead of the August 12 vote.

Sanusi was alleged to have criticised the Selangor Sultan’s decision to appoint Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari from the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition as the state menteri besar.

Sanusi, who is also PN elections director, has since issued an apology to the Selangor Sultan, but asserted that his remarks were taken out of context by his political rivals.

PN is competing against the “unity government” formed last November by PH and Barisan Nasional in next month’s six state elections involving Selangor, Penang, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu. MM

Kedah caretaker MB’s remarks: It’s not over, S’gor ruler decrees

Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah today decreed that the matter concerning Kedah caretaker menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s speech was “unresolved”.

This decree came after the ruler granted separate audiences to Selangor PAS chief Ahmad Yunus Hairi and Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan in Shah Alam today.

“The audiences were granted separately to discuss the statements by the Kedah (caretaker) menteri besar over his speech in Selangor recently which is deemed to have insulted the Selangor royal institution.

“The ruler decreed that the matter has not been resolved,” said the Selangor Royal Office in a statement.

Two days ago, Sanusi had written to the ruler to apologise for the former’s speech on July 11 in Selayang, Selangor.

In his speech, Sanusi made comparisons between Kedah and Selangor’s royal households.

At one point, Sanusi claimed that the Kedah ruler would not have chosen Amirudin Shari as menteri besar.

This has triggered dozens of police reports against Sanusi for allegedly insulting the royal institution.

One such report was filed by the Selangor Royal Council, which serves as the Selangor ruler’s advisory body. MKINI
