Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has reminded media portals not to "spin" a toddy analogy he made in a statement to MIC and DAP leaders over a temple demolition issue.
This followed reports of Sanusi telling his critics to not appear "drunk on two or three bottles after only consuming one" and suggesting that they were "drunk on the toddy of popularity" when denouncing him over the matter.
Sanusi's statement irked several politicians on both sides of the political divide and religious leaders who rebuked and accused him of playing up certain racial stereotypes.
In a media conference on Monday, Sanusi took a jab at media portals such as Malaysiakini and the now-defunct The Malaysian Insider and urged netizens not to refer to these sources for the news.
