Mahdzir said though Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor is known to regularly attack Anwar and the Unity Government, the Prime Minister has never taken such criticism into consideration when deciding to visit Kedah, because his priority is development and the people.
“He (Anwar) wants to hear the wishlist of the state government, plans or programmes that have the interest and welfare of the people, especially from sectors that are available in Kedah like agriculture, fisheries or infrastructure,” he said.
