Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today took Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor to task for claiming that Penang still belongs to Kedah. 

Anwar said as menteri besar, Sanusi should understand the constitution and be bound by its legal aspects. 

"Sometimes, when a leader speaks, he has to understand the constitution, he has to understand what an agreement is.

"The agreement may have been signed 300, 1,000 years ago, (but) there is the final agreement of establishing the Federation of Malaya, and that is clear.

"To say things in terms of political drama is another matter but as menteri besar, I think it is only appropriate to be bound by the legislation," he told the media after officiating the Fikrah Siddiq Fadzil seminar at Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka in Kuala Lumpur today. 

Anwar said all leaders need to respect the Constitution agreement that has been consented to by all the Malay Rulers, including the Sultan of Kedah on the issue.
