MUHAMMAD Sanusi Md Nor’s threat to deny Penang water is inhumane, said Lim Guan Eng after the Kedah menteri besar said the state will dam Sungai Muda and redirect water from Penang.

The former chief minister said no politician has denied any Malaysian water, and the Kedah menteri besar was interfering in the natural order.

“No Malaysian leader until Sanusi has ever threatened to deny water to fellow Malaysians.

“Is Sanusi not defying God’s will by interfering in what God had determined to be the natural course of the river?” Lim asked in a statement today.

He said Sanusi’s recent divisive statements have angered the public, including non-Muslims.

“Sanusi’s discriminatory policies against non-Muslims and his recent hateful remarks against minorities, particularly Hindus and Indians using racial stereotypes, following the high-handed demolition of a Hindu temple in Alor Star, has created widespread anger nationally,” Lim said.

The DAP secretary-general said Sanusi’s actions contrasted with previous PAS leaders, former Kedah MB  Azizan Abdul Razak.

“Azizan was everything that Sanusi is not, despite being Azizan’s political secretary for the five years Azizan was menteri besar.

“Most importantly Azizan was competent whereas Sanusi is not,” Lim said.

Malaysians will not trust PAS to rule the country as there were leaders like Sanusi making the party look incompetent, Lim added

“Sanusi reminds Malaysians everything that is wrong about PAS. Not just the broken promises but also the dangers that PAS in government poses to the future of Malaysia, including both Sabah and Sarawak,” he said.

Lim’s comment come after Sanusi demanded RM50 million from Penang for water from Sungai Muda last week. – December 13, 2020.
