SELAYANG: Caretaker Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Nor claims that the government is stiffling free speech after he was charged with two counts of sedition against rulers today.
The Perikatan Nasional election director pleaded not guilty to two sedition charges in separate courts relating to his speech at a ceramah in Gombak on July 11.
Both judges imposed a gag order refraining Sanusi from making any comment regarding the case.
Speaking to reporters outside the court, Sanusi claimed the charges were politically motivated ahead of the six state elections on Aug 12.
“It seems that in Malaysia, we can’t say anything,” said Sanusi.
“In Malaysia, we have a fearful government that uses the police to arrest and suppress our freedom of speech, with all public agencies being used to impede the development and well-being of the people.
“I am confident that with these charges, many Malaysians (now) realise their (government’s) real intentions.”
