00:00Kedah UMNO has slammed Seputih MP Teresa Kok for suggesting that Langkawi be handed over to the federal government for better management, calling the proposal insensitive and offensive to the people of the state.
00:14Kedah UMNO Chairman Matsir Khalid said the DAP MP's suggestion showed a lack of respect for the state ruler who reigns over the state's territories and its people as a whole.
00:25He said Kok should issue a public apology for hurting the feelings of the people of Kedah and that the issue of developing Langkawi could be addressed in many other ways that do not require placing it under the federal administration.
00:39Yesterday, Utusan Malaysia reported that Kok had criticised the Kedah state government, accusing it of failing to develop Langkawi.
00:46She told the Dewan Rakyat that Langkawi, which is rich in tourism potential, could be better developed if managed by the federal government and proposed that the island be administered as a federal territory or an international zone.
