Menteri Besar Kedah Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor selesai menghadapi pertuduhan di Mahkamah Sesyen 2.

Sanusi later issued an apology to the Selangor ruler over his statement after police reports were lodged against him. Regardless, a police investigation was carried out against him over the issue under the Sedition Act 1948 and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.Sanusi is the incumbent Jeneri assemblyman in Kedah and also holds the post of Perikatan Nasional election director ahead of the six state elections that will take place 12 August.
