Muhyiddin Yassin Allegedly Made Seditious Remarks on August 14 in Gua Musang, Kelantan

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin allegedly made seditious remarks during a Perikatan Nasional rally held at Felda Perasu in Gua Musang, Kelantan, on August 14. These remarks, which formed the basis of a charge under the Sedition Act 1948, involved questioning his omission from being sworn in as prime minister after the 15th general election. The specific context of his statement related to his perceived support from 115 Members of Parliament at the time.
Details of the Alleged Seditious Remarks

The charge sheet details that Muhyiddin's alleged seditious remarks were uttered during a rally on August 14. According to reports, a transcript of his speech indicated that he questioned why he was not invited by the then Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, to be sworn in as prime minister. This was despite his claim of having the support of 115 MPs following the 15th general election.
Legal Proceedings and Context

Muhyiddin pleaded not guilty to the charge, which falls under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948. This section carries potential penalties including a fine of up to RM5,000, imprisonment for up to three years, or both. The case is being heard in the Sessions Court in Gua Musang before judge Nik Tarmizie Nik Shukri.
Bail and Next Steps

Following his plea, Muhyiddin's bail was set at RM5,000. The court has scheduled the next case mention for November 4. This legal action comes after Muhyiddin was also previously accused of insulting the former Yang di-Pertuan Agong, which led to 29 police reports being lodged against him.
