Police have opened an investigation paper against former Kedah PAS Ulama wing deputy chief Zainul Asri Mohd Romli for allegedly making a seditious speech at the Himpunan Kedah Berselawat last Saturday.
Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said police had recorded a statement from Zainul as part of the investigation but he was not remanded.
“In the first meeting (with police), he admitted making a mistake and said he got carried away by the response of the crowd.
"However, I was told that investigations are continuing because there are complaints,” he said at a press conference after chairing the 8th meeting of the Committee on Foreign Worker Management yesterday.
Representatives of Pakatan Harapan lodged a police report against the independent speaker at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur on June 26.
Yesterday, Zainul published an apology regarding the matter on his Facebook.
