Kubang Rotan assemblyman Asmirul Anuar Aris, who is also the state Amanah secretary, said calls for PN to stop making racially-charged comments appeared to have fallen on deaf ears.
“The wave brought by PN is a danger to our country today. If you look at Sanusi in his campaigns, he is firing racial and religious sentiment in his speeches,” Asmirul said at a ceramah last night.
“PN is blowing up these sentiments, especially among youths, and these youths are taking it to the streets. If you look at (Sanusi’s) videos, it is so dangerous to Kedah and the country,” Asmirul said.
Kedah Pakatan Harapan (PH) chief Mahfuz Omar also said such content on TikTok and other social media platforms ought to be red-flagged as it was deeply divisive and only pushes a “us against them” rhetoric.
FMT has contacted Sanusi for comment.
In the Padang Serai election, Sofee Razak of PH, Azman Nasruddin of PN and independent candidate Ananda AK appear to be the only ones in the race after Barisan Nasional and Warisan said they would support the PH candidate.
The polling day for the Padang Serai parliamentary seat is on Dec 7. The Election Commission postponed the polls for this constituency after the original PH candidate M Karupaiya died three days before GE15 on Nov 19.
