In a statement on Tuesday, Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) secretary general Takiyuddin Hassan said that the party was following the case closely and urged all their supporters to keep calm and respect the process of law. PAS is a PN component party.
Last Thursday, multiple police reports had been lodged against Sanusi for allegedly insulting the Selangor royal institution.
In a viral video, Sanusi appears to have belittled the appointment of Selangor chief minister Amirudin Shari during a political rally.
In a Facebook post on Jul 15, Sanusi said that he sent a letter to the Selangor palace, where he had apologised to the ruler but claimed that his speech had been spun out of context.
On Monday, Sultan Sharafuddin said in a post on the Selangor Royal Office Facebook page that the issue was yet to be resolved.
Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain had also said that investigations into Sanusi’s remarks would go on despite his apology to the Selangor ruler.
The police had conducted their investigations under the Penal Code, the Sedition Act, and the Communications and Multimedia Act.
Early last month, Sanusi – who is known for his controversial statements – had been investigated over his alleged claims that Penang falls under Kedah’s ownership.
