Sanusi should be ashamed of REE theft - Anwar
JITRA - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on caretaker Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor to explain the allegations of rare earth elements (REE) theft in the state.
Anwar, who is also the chairman of Pakatan Harapan said that Sanusi should be ashamed of the allegations, and that he should provide an explanation to the people of Kedah.
"He said that the Prime Minister is like a toilet, just because he inspected toilets. I don't feel insulted. Those are our children's schools, our grandchildren's schools.
"There's nothing wrong, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
"You should be ashamed when you misuse power to steal logs, rare earth and then curse people.
"We need your immediate responses," he said when speaking at a ceramah at the PH-BN Operations Room here yesterday.
Anwar also called on state leaders to set a good example for young people by preaching wisely and in the direction of goodness.
He said that state leaders should not utter insulting words to others.
"One thing is that I went to Jeneri (today) and that Jeneri person (Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor) insulted me every day as "stupid", "I have no morals", "liar", "kepala bapak" which has really become a common practice," he said.
Anwar added that state leaders need to explain the efforts they have made and plans to make to help the people in Kedah.
He said that state leaders also need to be able to work and have a good relationship with the Federal Government for the sake of the state to be involved.
