Sanusi: I didn't say 'return,' I illustrated countries and their people

Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, the information chief for Perikatan Nasional (PN), has once again clarified his previous remarks, asserting that he never used the word 'return' in his speech in Jempol. Sanusi explained that his statement was intended to illustrate the relationship between countries and their populations.

"I didn't even say 'return.' I was illustrating countries I mentioned and their connection to their people," he stated. Sanusi used examples like "Scottish people in Scotland, Swedish people in Sweden, Irish people in Ireland" to emphasize his point. He listed countries such as Thailand, China, India, Cambodia, and Vietnam to represent nations and their inhabitants.

Sanusi expressed his frustration that his point about Malaysia being Tanah Melayu, inhabited by Malays, was not understood. "I wanted to say this land is inhabited by Malays, its name is Tanah Melayu, it's that simple. If you don't understand that, how can you hand over the state?" he asked during a rally in Seremban. He urged everyone to accept the historical context of the nation's formation.

"No one can correct the facts of past events. We speak for the guidance of the present and future," Sanusi said. He criticized individuals who distort facts to provoke anger, hatred, and suspicion, calling them unfit to lead. He stressed that leaders must understand the land's roots and history, not dismiss it.

Sanusi also mentioned that he would be providing a statement to the police regarding his speech. The Minister of Kedah reiterated that those who wish to govern the state and country must comprehend the historical background and not disregard it.

Takkan saya perlu sebut Scottish duduk di Scotland, Swedish duduk di Sweden, Irish duduk di Ireland, takkan perlu sehingga itu.
