ALOR SETAR: Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor clarified today that a RM13 million bank transfer by a state-owned company to an unspecified account in Canada was not carried out by his predecessor but merely done under his watch.
Sanusi said it appeared that former menteri besar Mukhriz Mahathir was “genuinely surprised” by his revelation on the matter yesterday. “I want to correct the perception that many took from my earlier statement that the transfer was carried out by Mukhriz himself. I now feel that Mukhriz does not know about this and was genuinely surprised.
“It was a transfer to a Barclays Bank account. I can’t reveal any more details as there could be a probe,” he said in a press conference after the Kedah state assembly today.
