PAS Kedah Menteri Besar (MB) Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor is unrelenting in his attacks and criticism of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, this time, chiding him over the Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) attempt to overthrow the unity government.
Speaking at the launch of the Perikatan National’s (PN) election machinery in Kedah last night, the MB asked, “Why is he (Anwar) so afraid? Because he knows we have the figures, right? If he doesn’t deny it, people might think it’s just a rumour.”
While Sanusi knows that a constant reference to the PN’s claim that it has the numbers in Parliament will galvanise its troops ahead of the crucial state elections, it is not always having the right effect on voters.
According to Sanusi, when Anwar denies that PN has the numbers, “according to an old adage, it means it’s true.”
Netizens have a lot to say in their comments on Sanusi’s statement.

Siapa yang takut???,.. YAB PM dah minta bawa ke sidang Parlimen dan undi di Dewan Rakyat. Tak faham dengan MB ni,.. Yang dijanji di Kedah pun belum terlaksana, dok politik je yang lebih. Negara sedang move ke depan, Kestabilan adalah Harapan Rakyat sekarang.

“Who’s afraid??? PM has requested to brought (the issue) to the Parliament and vote in the Dewan Rakyat. I don’t understand this MB, the promises in Kedah have not even been fulfilled yet, but he’s only interested in politics. The country is moving forward, stability is now the hope of the people.”
User @the_azreport remarks were very thoughtful for those who remember the 33 months of PN’s rule in the country.
Bukan Anwar yang takut tapi rakyat yang takut. Tak sanggup hadapi pentadbiran PN tak Best yang incompetent. May Allah SWT protect us from the munafiqun.

“It’s not Anwar who’s afraid, but the people who are afraid. They can’t bear the PN administration which is incompetent and not the best. May Allah protect us from the hypocrites.”

“The King does not want to accept the statutory declaration anymore. If you want to bring down the government, propose a vote of no confidence. Do you think the King will entertain any SDs that are being spread around? ”
The comment is on the dot since PN has so far refused to bring a vote of no-confidence against Anwar in Parliament.
Some users on Twitter are saying it is time for Kedah to change their MB.

Hang pun org PAS Kedah mungkin akan buang. Ramai lagi ustaz dan professionals PAS di Kedah yg layak jadi MB. Hang asyik sembang tapi hasil takde. Ayaq pun takdak. Litar lumba pun takdak. Sembang lebih

“You from PAS Kedah might also be dropped. Many PAS ustaz and professionals in Kedah are qualified to be the MB. You keep talking but there are no results. No water, no race track. Too much talk.” — May 14, 2023
