Proposal not to observe public holiday for Thaipusam draws flak from Indian community 22 Jan 2021 / 22:16 H.
PETALING JAYA: Kedah Mentri Besar Mohammad Sanusi Md Nor has drawn brickbats all round for his proposal not to observe Thaipusam as a public holiday in the state.
Several parties, such as MIC, DAP and even Umno have chided him for what has been referred to as an outlandish decision.
There have also been calls for his immediate resignation as Kedah chief executive for his “incompetence”.
Sanusi had, on Wednesday, announced that Jan 28, the day when Thaipusam is celebrated, will not be a public holiday in Kedah while the country is still under the movement control order to fight the Covid-19 war.

PETALING JAYA: Kedah Mentri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor (

Political analyst Dr Asri Salleh believes the politician should first apologise.
“It is up to the relevant authorities to decide (if he should be charged). But Sanusi should make amends in either his capacity as the mentri besar or as a member of the Kedah state legislative assembly,” he told theSun.
But Asri added that Sanusi’s remarks would not result in his resignation and he will be there for the foreseeable future.
