Johor PKR vice-chairperson Hassan Karim today joined a growing list of opposition politicians investigated for or charged with sedition.
Hassan has been called to give his statement at the Shah Alam police station at 2.30pm today, for a remark he made about the Selangor sultan in relation to the ongoing menteri besar crisis.
He is being investigated under Section 4 of the Sedition Act – the same section under which PKR’s Padang Serai MP N Surendran was charged on two separate occasions in the past fortnight.
Malay rights NGO Perkasa had on Aug 16 lodged a police report against Hassan for tweets that it said maligned Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
The NGO was referring to a tweet where Hassan said: “Sultan jenis apa dia ni? Ketika Selangor dalam krisis serius dia lari luar negeri.” (What kind of sultan is this? When Selangor is in crisis, he runs overseas.)
In a separate tweet, Hassan also urged the sultan and incumbent Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim to learn from the Perak crisis.
