Chinese national in Malaysia prior to serving as Kedah MB: Sanusi

ALOR SETAR: Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail’s claim that I brought in a Chinese national into the country is defamatory, says Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor.

The caretaker Kedah mentri besar said the Chinese national concerned, So Loi Fat, was already in the country way before he became mentri besar.

“He was already here. How can he (Saifuddin) say I was the one who brought So in,” he said after the Sembang Santai programme at Alor Malai Flat here on Wednesday (August 2).

So has been linked to the theft of rare earth elements (REE) and owns Prospek Suria, which entered into a joint venture with Kedah Mentri Besar Incorporated (MBI) for REE exploration in Bukit Enggang Forest, Sik.

Muhammad Sanusi said it is not odd for So, as a businessman, to come to Malaysia.

The Jeneri PAS candidate also said another legal suit could be filed against Saifuddin if he continues to spread alleged untruths about him and the state government.

Muhammad Sanusi, who is also Perikatan Nasional election director, said the two PAS members who went rogue by contesting as independents in Langkawi, had been issued letters expelling both of them from the party.

The duo concerned are Langkawi PAS deputy chief Mazlan Ahmad, who is standing as an independent candidate for the Kuah seat and Langkawi PAS Youth wing treasurer Safwan Hanif Shafie, who filed his nomination for the Ayer Hangat seat.

Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, the caretaker Kedah mentri besar, has denied claims made by Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail that he brought a Chinese national into the country. Muhammad Sanusi clarified that the Chinese national in question, So Loi Fat, was already in the country prior to his appointment as mentri besar. Speaking at the Sembang Santai programme in Alor Malai Flat, Muhammad Sanusi expressed his disbelief at Saifuddin’s accusation, questioning how he could be held responsible for bringing So into the country.

So Loi Fat has been implicated in the theft of rare earth elements (REE) and is the owner of Prospek Suria, which collaborated with Kedah Mentri Besar Incorporated (MBI) for REE exploration in Bukit Enggang Forest, Sik. Muhammad Sanusi emphasized that as a businessman, it is not unusual for So to have come to Malaysia.

Furthermore, Muhammad Sanusi warned that he may pursue legal action against Saifuddin if he continues spreading alleged falsehoods about him and the state government. Muhammad Sanusi, who also serves as the Perikatan Nasional election director, revealed that two PAS members who contested as independents in Langkawi have been expelled from the party. The individuals in question are Mazlan Ahmad, the deputy chief of Langkawi PAS, who is standing as an independent candidate for the Kuah seat, and Safwan Hanif Shafie, the treasurer of Langkawi PAS Youth wing, who has filed his nomination for the Ayer Hangat seat.

The caretaker Kedah mentri besar’s statement comes in response to Saifuddin’s defamatory claims and aims to set the record straight regarding the presence of So Loi Fat in Malaysia.
