SEKINCHAN: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on all parties to refrain from conducting unhealthy political discourse on the position and role of Malay Rulers.
The Prime Minister also said the royal institution should be protected and respected by all.
Anwar also called on the public to understand the charges imposed on Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor under the Sedition Act 1948 and to respect the court process.
“I call on everyone to study the charges, to understand first and foremost the reason for the police report lodged by the Selangor Royal Council as well as the reason why the Attorney General decided to prosecute,” he told reporters after launching the Sentuhan Agro Madani programme here on Tuesday (July 18).
Muhammad Sanusi was charged at two Sessions Courts with two counts of inciting the public over his remarks on the appointment of the Selangor Mentri Besar and the establishment of the unity government in a political talk.
Muhammad Sanusi was alleged to have committed acts of seditious tendency by uttering words that could raise discontent or disaffection towards royalty. – Bernama
