ALOR SETAR: Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, known for his run-ins with the Penang state government, has done it again – he is now demanding RM100 million a year as “lease payment” for Penang island and Seberang Perai.

Sanusi said he wanted the honorarium the federal government has been paying on Penang’s behalf to be raised by RM90 million.

Kedah cannot prove something that is not true

From P Ramasamy

The Kedah state government is inviting historians, academicians and others to prove the point that Penang was leased from Kedah by the British then for a sum of money in Spanish dollars.

Kedah menteri besar Muhammed Sanusi Md Nor said that if Penang was not leased from Kedah, why had the federal government been paying initially RM10,000 and then later RM10 million to Kedah.

No government will pay such an amount without a historical basis, he claimed.
