Kedah MB Sanusi: Why blame me for Dubai firm quitting RM40b Langkasuka project? Ask Muhyiddin and Tengku Zafrul instead
The Kedah state government will not incur any loss from Bin Zayed International (BZI) Group’s withdrawal from the RM40 billion Langkasuka development in Langkawi, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor reportedly said.
(MMO) – Sanusi said the project is a private partnership, and therefore he was baffled why he and the state government were being blamed by some parties for the Dubai-based investment firm’s decision.
“It is common practice for companies to withdraw from any investment. This is not a new issue, but I’m not sure why it’s only now being raised again,” he was quoted saying by New Straits Times.
“However, some people are hitting out at me, even though I have no connection to Bin Zayed and I don’t even know them.”
Sanusi said the collaboration between BZI and Widad Business Group Sdn Bhd was announced by then prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, rather than the Kedah government.
He added that critics should instead point their questions to Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abd Aziz, who was then finance minister.
