Kedah Mentri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor. - MUSTAFA AMAD/The Star

MALAYSIANS must be asking this – since when do we get hauled up by the police for criticising and insulting public figures, especially politicians, on social media?

Surely, as politicians, they should be able to take all this. Kedah Mentri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, being a PAS leader, must surely have spent his career criticising other political parties before he became part of the government.
