: Almost five years after his death, the Federal Court acquitted the late Karpal Singh of a sedition charge, for allegedly questioning the late Sultan of Perak’s action as relating to the Perak crisis.

The court had allowed the appeal to set aside Karpal Singh’s conviction and fine of RM1,800. His widow Gurmit Kaur, 70, acted as a substitute appellant in the appeal. “As pointed out by learned counsel for the appellant, three out of four judges had failed to analyse the defence,“ she said. Karpal Singh was charged in 2010 for questioning the late Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah’s action to remove Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as mentri besar in 2009.

Special court will deal with Agong, not ICC: lawyerHuman rights advocate Edmund Bon dismisses concerns Rome Statute will affect the position of Malay rulers. If you are not the mass murderer responsible for the Wang Kelian mass murder or the MH370 mass murder, why should you be worried about the International Criminal Court? Unless if you say the rome statute obeys the Agong and puts Agong on top, then this is pretty much the same with ICERD. Attempts to take a certain amount of judicial and authority from the hands of malaysian judiciary system. I support Rome Statute. It's right to sign. Gov did the right thing and YDPA have no objection.
