COMMENT | What? Minister unable to meet another minister!

COMMENT | It was only 10 days ago that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim spoke of the importance of collaboration and the spirit of genuine cooperation between state and federal leaders to better serve the rakyat.

At the Unity Government Convention on May 14, Anwar praised Kelantan Menteri Besar Ahmad Yakob's willingness to engage and cooperate to solve the state's water problems.

In contrast, he appeared to imply that Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, was deeply arrogant and only knew how to talk big.

"He (Ahmad) is different, the Kelantan menteri besar is willing to negotiate amicably. When someone negotiates in goodwill, we will be twice as good (in response).

"(However), those who are arrogant and snobbish, you go ahead and remain arrogant and snobbish," Anwar said in an apparent reference to Sanusi.
