Question

Accepted Answer

The Pahang Palace Representatives Lodged the Sedition Report Against Muhyiddin Yassin

Communication Minister Fahmi Fadzil stated that representatives of the Pahang palace, not the government, lodged the police report against Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, which led to his sedition charge. A total of 29 police reports were made, forming the basis for the charge.
Report Origin and Basis for Charge

The sedition charge against Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin stemmed from 29 police reports that were lodged. Fahmi Fadzil clarified during a press conference that these reports were initiated by representatives associated with the Pahang palace. This statement came in response to accusations from Muhyiddin's party deputy, Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, who had alleged government involvement and a politically motivated prosecution.
Nature of the Allegation

Muhyiddin Yassin faces accusations of insulting the previous Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah of Pahang. This alleged insult occurred during campaigning for the Nenggiri by-election. Muhyiddin has since pleaded not guilty to the sedition charge brought against him in the Sessions Court in Gua Musang.
Legal Framework of the Charge

The charge against Muhyiddin Yassin is being prosecuted under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948. This particular section of the Act outlines potential penalties for seditious acts, which can include a fine not exceeding RM5,000, imprisonment for a term of up to three years, or a combination of both the fine and imprisonment.
