KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is leaving it to the Attorney-General to take the appropriate action pertaining to Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s statement claiming that Penang belongs to Kedah.

The Prime Minister said such a claim must stop as it violates the Federal Constitution’s principles consented to by the Malay Rulers.

“Just because we want to exercise the power of election, do we have to sacrifice the principles of the Constitution and create chaos?

“We have been independent for more than six decades, the previous ruling parties (of Kedah), whether UMNO-BN, PAS-PH and now PAS-PN, have never raised the issue (concerning Kedah and Penang) except for an irresponsible leader who is willing to violate the principles of the Constitution,” he said during the Minister’s Question Time at the Dewan Rakyat sitting today.

Anwar said this in reply to Lim Guan Eng (PH-Bagan) on the action to be taken against Muhammad Sanusi who called for the Federal Constitution to be amended so that Penang can be returned to Kedah, which has divided the people, caused anxiety among the residents of Penang and threatened the harmony and security in the country.
