The report was lodged at the Timur Laut police station in Georgetown, Penang, this morning. Rayer (above) was accompanied by Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng, Bukit Bendera MP Syerleena Abdul Rashid, and other DAP leaders. In the report, Rayer said it was “extreme” of Sanusi to question the sovereignty of Penang, which was established and recognised as a sovereign state under the Federal Constitution.

By making such claims, Sanusi was not only questioning the validity of the Constitution but also the power of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in appointing the Penang governor, the DAP lawmaker added.  “As a menteri besar, he (Sanusi) should be more responsible and garner feedback and advice from legal experts instead of blindly making claims that can cause anxiety and anger to the people of Penang, and disrupt public order.

“I am making this report to not only defend the rights and interests of Penang folk but also to uphold the validity of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Federal Constitution,” he said. This is the second time Rayer has lodged a report against Sanusi over the “Kedah owns Penang” claim. The first report was made in February when Sanusi first made the allegation.

Elaborating, Rayer claimed that Sanusi’s “irresponsible, extreme” remark can possibly cause chaos and riots among Penang folk.

Proarte : The Malaysian Chinese built up the economy of a tiny island and that of a slither of land on the mainland that forms the Penang State to become the economic power house that it is today. It is second only to Selangor in terms of economic productivity.The Kedah MB is simply envious of this fact.

The people of Penang of all races will never allow their land to be hijacked by pirates like Sanusi. Kedah is a potentially rich state but it is the inability of its leaders to administer their state well which has resulted in the economy of a large and potentially rich state like Kedah falling way behind that of Penang.

In fact, Penang should offer to administer Kedah for a 10 year period and then return the State back its people to choose leaders who can emulate the Penang mode of administration. The Penang experience would greatly improve the lives of the majority in Kedah who are Malays. The MB Sanusi if he was educated and intelligent would realise that Kedah was owned by the King of Siam until 1909.

The British through gunboat diplomacy in the Bangkok Treaty got Thailand to cede Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan and Terengganu to them. Therefore the idea of Kedah 'owning' Penang is pure fantasy. We have a democracy and a Constitution where Sharia is not yet the supreme law of the land. Sanusi a PAS leader, by claiming that Kedah owns Penang, has made a seditious remark by repudiating the Malaysian Constitution.

If Sanusi is allowed to get away without consequences for his seditious remark, it would be a slow but steady path to anarchy in Malaysia, and the likely establishment of an Islamic State ala Afghanistan so beloved of PAS. Malays like the 'idea' of an Islamic state but would most definitely reject the reality of one, in the mould of Afghanistan.
