00:00The reluctance of Penang PAS to criticise claims by the PAS-led Kedah government about Penang has damaged its credibility as well as that of perkataan national among voters, say political analysts.
00:13Oi Ki Bing of Penang Institute criticised Penang PAS Information Chief Fawaz Jan for defending the Kedah government's demand that Pucca Jaya pay the state a RM100 million annual lease payment for Penang.
00:27He said any political party with aspirations to rule Penang cannot agree publicly with what he called Kedah's ridiculous claims.
00:36Asmi Hassan of Academy Nusantara said the fixation of Kedah PAS with the lease issue would hinder its Penang counterpart's efforts to garner support from non-Malay voters which is crucial for PN if it aims to govern Penang.
00:52Azmil Tayyib of University Science Malaysia also noted that the PN leadership has not issued any official statement disowning Kedah's claim.
01:02On November 10, Kedah Menteri Besar Sanusi Noor said the state is in the final phase of appointing a legal team to initiate court action over its status and relationship with Penang.
