Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 71346, member: 636"] Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow has firmly rejected Kedah's claims over his state, asserting its sovereign status is unequivocally clear. He stated that, according to the Federal Constitution, any historical financial obligations from an 1869 agreement are the federal government's responsibility, not Penang's. Chow Kon Yeow clarified that Penang has no legal duty to pay rent or compensation to Kedah. He cited the Kedah and Penang Alteration of Boundaries Act of 1985 as having definitively established state boundaries. The Chief Minister also warned against narratives that could disrupt public harmony, pledging his administration would uphold the constitution and the rule of law. This rebuttal responded to Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor's recent assertions and his formation of a legal team regarding the matter. [/QUOTE]
