SNAPSHOT | Rais Faces Sedition Charge over Royal Remarks; PAS Mulls Malacca Polls Logo
- On Friday, Sept 25, former Dewan Negara president Rais Yatim pleaded not guilty to a sedition charge before the Ayer Keroh Sessions Court, with allegations stemming from remarks made in Alor Gajah on June 5.
- Prosecutors allege Rais made remarks supporting Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku as the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan amid a prolonged dispute regarding the state's royal institution.
- Charged under Section 4 of the Sedition Act, Rais faces up to three years imprisonment or a RM5,000 fine; the Negeri Sembilan palace previously revoked two state titles to "safeguard the dignity, honour, and sanctity of the royal institution of Negeri Sembilan."
- Represented by a five-member legal team led by his son, Danni Rais, Rais was granted RM8,000 bail with one surety after Danni noted his father cooperated fully with authorities.
- The Ayer Keroh Sessions Court fixed Oct 27 for the next mention of the case, which centers on the contested proclamation of Tunku Nadzaruddin as Yang di-Pertuan Besar, replacing Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.
