KUALA LUMPUR: Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor was arrested early this morning after he ignored the calls made by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the telephone calls were made after police received instructions on the charges involving Muhammad Sanusi from the Attorney-General's Chambers yesterday.
He said police checks found Muhammad Sanusi was not in Kedah and was at a television station in the federal capital.
"He was not there, and he rejected our calls to inform him to be present in court. We also called him through his political secretary and other officers, but all calls were rejected," he told a special media conference at Bukit Aman here today.
Razarudin said Muhammad Sanusi was arrested because he was involved an investigation under the Sedition Act and the investigation found that the matter has a tendency of hatred and contempt related to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah and the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
