He said the charges against Sanusi also had nothing to do with the Aug 12 state elections as well as the decree issued by the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah who said that the issue regarding the statement by Sanusi, which is considered insulting to the Selangor royal institution, is not over yet.
"In my opinion, the prosecution was made because the AGC has a strong case, so if he is innocent, the court is the best platform to answer all the accusations and defend himself," he told reporters after launching the 2023 Mara Educator Awards Day here today.
The Minister of Rural and Regional Development was commenting on Pendang MP Datuk Awang Hashim's statement that Sanusi’s prosecution was to 'cripple' the progress of Pas and Perikatan Nasional (PN) ahead of the state polls.
Asked why Sanusi was arrested at 3 am, Ahmad Zahid, who is also Umno president, said it was the enforcement agency's right to do so. -Bernama
