GEORGE TOWN – A veteran politician has echoed Penang Mufti Datuk Seri Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor’s criticism of Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s remarks linking Penang to 4D outlets.

Wan Salim had yesterday slammed Sanusi for bringing down Muslims in Penang by linking the state to gambling and immorality.

“Sanusi needs to be careful when he speaks in public, especially on matters related to Penang,” stressed Wan Salim.

Tan Sri Mohd Yussof Latiff, who heads the oldest Malay organisation in the country – the Penang Malay Association (Pemenang) said that Sanusi has hurt the feelings of Muslims in the state by telling those who want to patronise 4D lottery outlets to go to Penang.

“At the same time, he may have irked the Yang di-Pertuan Agong over his remarks that portrays Penang as a state that freely allows gambling because His Majesty is in charge of Islamic affairs in states that do not have Malay rulers,” Yussof told The Vibes.
