Two Penang elected representatives - Tanjong MP Ng Wei Aik and Seri Delima assemblyperson RSN Rayer - will continue to face charges under the Sedition Act.
This is despite sedition charges against Kota Seputeh MP Teresa Kok and scholar Azmi Sharom have been dropped by attorney-general Mohammed Apandi Ali.
Rayer is facing two charges of sedition under Section 4(1)b of the Sedition Act for allegedly uttering the word 'celaka' against Umno in the Penang legislative assembly on May 2014.
He then allegedly uttered the same word against Umno in a ceramah during the Bukit Gelugor by-election the same month.
Ng is being charged for an article he wrote in a Chinese language daily in February last year in support of opposition leader and PKR defacto chief Anwar Ibrahim.
Rayer's cases were heard by sessions court judges Zulhazmi Abdullah and Ibrahim Osman at the Sessions Court in George Town. Both cases were postponed to March 11 for mention.
Gobind Singh Deo, Rayer's counsel, had raised preliminary objections last month to strike out his client’s sedition charge.
Gobind said the objections were based on Article 72(2) of the Federal Constitution which referred to immunity, and guaranteed protection for elected representatives in legislative assemblies.
He pointed out that the exception to this is in Article 72(4) which stated that the immunity can be revoked if the assemblyperson uttered seditious words.
Penang head of prosecution unit Razali Che Ani had requested for time to study the objections. The prosecution team is still waiting for reply from AG.
On Ng's case, Gobind said they will file an application in court to challenge the case.
Pending this, Ibrahim fixed the hearing dates for April 25 and 26.
When met outside the court, Gobind said "We will challenge the Sedition Act on its constitutionality". -Mkini
