After his TikTok account was deleted, Kedah caretaker menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor claimed that Malaysia was becoming like North Korea under the Madani government.

Without his TikTok account, Sanusi said it would make it difficult for him to respond to current issues and attacks from his opponents.

“After this, there will be very terrible, very frightening news for you. Today alone I was ‘shot’ five times.

“All sorts of cases, the bungalow case, this case, that case, tonight there is the rare earth elements case. There are answers for all of that, but they have erased my TikTok.

“(I) opened TikTok and I saw it was gone. We were just about to get popular, that was the platform we wanted to answer (things) exhaustively on. We cannot go on television, they don’t let us, and we cannot get onto the radio.

“We only use TikTok and Facebook. Nowadays, the youth don’t look at Facebook anymore because they say it is only for the old,” Sanusi said in a video PAS organ Harakah Daily uploaded on Twitter.

Sanusi announced the deletion of his TikTok account in a short posting on Facebook last night.

“Darai dah barai,” he said, attaching a screenshot of his now-defunct TikTok account.

Darai is a Kedahan slang referring to “a man acting or dressing like a woman” whereas barai is understood as “to destroy”.

Malaysiakini’s check found that Sanusi’s TikTok account can still be accessed, but all of his posts have been deleted.

‘Govt afraid of free press’

Sanusi accused the coalition government of being afraid of media freedom.

“They are afraid of the free press, they have completely erased (my TikTok account). The 5.2 million (likes) and comments, and followers numbering in millions.

“If I were to make another (account), to find (followers) one by one would be difficult, no? That is the era of the Pakatan Harapan administration, Malaysia is now moving towards becoming North Korea.

“North Korea is a communist country, they block all media and don’t let their people know anything, just listen and obey,” he said.

He is also under police investigation for remarks touching on race, religion and royalty.
