PENANG Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow has offered some words of wisdom to Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor to be careful with his speech which has indirectly disputed the position of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) as the custodian of states without a king.

In fact, the Penang State Legislative Assembly (DUN) which convened on Tuesday (March 7) had unanimously supported a motion without notification pertaining to Sanusi’s extremist speech that cast doubt about the sovereignty of Penang.

As such, Chow warned the Kedah PAS Deputy Commissioner I to be careful given the statement he had issued could lead him to an offence under the Sedition Act because he had indirectly disputed the position of the YDPA. He also gave Sanusi a lesson in history.

“The Kedah Menteri Besar has acted inappropriately by relying solely on the book Kedah 1771-1821: The Search for Security and Independence authored by R. Bonney as evidence involving the dispute,” explained Chow who is also the DAP’s Penang state chairman.
