Sanusi, kamu jangan berbohong. Soal perlantikan menteri-menteri adalah urusan Si Kepala Taik. Kamu ingat kamu kalah jadi Ketua Bahagian. Kamu ingat kamu kalah jadi ahli MKT sebab ahli-ahli UMNO tolak.
Ini sebabnya kamu tak sanggup jadi menteri lagi. Perlantikan kamu jadi MB atas kehendak Si Kepala Taik bukan kehendak ahli-ahli UMNO sendiri.

ALOR STAR: Mentri Besar Tan Sri Sanusi Janid said he left the Agriculture Ministry after former finance minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim cut his ministry's allocation by more than RM500mil.
He said he was frustrated with Anwar's action as the original budget was meant to help the poor and farmers in the country.
"However, I could not do much," he said.
He added that Anwar instead gave the funds to the Defence Ministry.
"The money was used to buy fighter planes," he said at the Kedah Bumiputra Contractors meet-the-leader session on Sunday night.
He said he then informed the Prime Minister of his intention to resign as he believed his ministry would not be able to function due to insufficient funds.
He said he was later "persuaded" by Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad to return to Kedah to become the mentri besar.
"This way I could perform better because I report directly to the Prime Minister," he said.
Sanusi also said Kedah would be launching a project to build a land bridge linking Pulau Bunting to Thailand after the general election.
