STATE POLLS | Kedah Perikatan Nasional chief Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor did not appear at a major ceramah in Sungai Petani last night, ostensibly to avoid being "trapped".

Sanusi was supposed to attend the event at the Taman Ria field, but Alor Setar MP Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden announced the caretaker menteri besar’s absence.
