LARUT - Perikatan Nasional (PN) Secretary-General Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said that the political constancy and criticism that Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has received shows that he is a great leader.
Hamzah said that Sanusi, who is also the Menteri Besar of Kedah, has brought many achievements and proud developments to the state to the point that it is difficult for the opposing party to resist.
"They feel that Kedah is a state where they have to show their strength; they don't want to accept a sad result for their supporters.
"To me, Sanusi is a wise and good person; however, in certain talks, they attack him enough because they don't want to see Sanusi's success, which is so encouraging," he said.
He said this when met by reporters at a dinner with Larut MP at the Selama District Council Dewan Permai near here yesterday.
Hamzah, however, admitted that the culture of attacking top leaders at the state level ahead of the state election is a common thing done by all party levels.
"Like in Selangor, he said, the PN also criticised the leadership of the Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
"It is not wrong because this is a campaign; they attack our top leaders at the state level, and we also attack their leaders at the state level," he added.
