PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's statement that the Sedition Act was used on Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor as it relates"to the position, dignity of the rulers" is misleading, says Lawyers for Liberty director Zaid Malek.
"Therefore, Anwar's claim that the Sedition Act had been used only because it involves position, dignity of the Rulers' is false," said Zaid in a statement on Wednesday . On Tuesday , Muhammad Sanusi pleaded not guilty to two charges under the Sedition Act, with the second of the two referring to his speech questioning Anwar's statement on the Royal Decree and the establishment of the unity government.
