Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar Al Mahdzar says this raise awareness among the lower courts, public, and legal profession of the defences available to those charged with sedition.

PETALING JAYA: A lawyer has urged the Federal Court which acquitted the late Karpal Singh of a sedition charge to provide its written grounds as guidance for all interested parties.

Syed Iskandar said in an earlier appeal by the prosecution in 2012, the Court of Appeal held that there was no defence to the charge. Syed Iskandar said the Federal Court ruling by a seven-member bench last week was in effect a reversal of findings in the two Court of Appeal judgements. Chief Judge of Malaya Zaharah Ibrahim, who delivered an oral ruling, said there had been serious misdirection by the High Court and Court of Appeal.

Malaysia didn’t sign the ICERD so u have no right to preach about equality or discrimination. Why bother with other country domestic issue, or you want other countries to interfere with our country’s issues? Just asking la. As ASEAN partners, why not resolve regionally?
