Kedah Mb Submits Second Representation To Agc As Sedition Trial Over Comments On Selangor Sultan Postponed
Today’s hearing of Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s case, who is facing two charges of incitement during a political speech related to the appointment of the Selangor menteri besar and the formation of the unity government, has been postponed.
(MMO) – Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin granted the request for postponement by the Kedah menteri besar’s lawyer, Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud.
The lawyer informed the court that a second representation had been submitted to the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) seeking to drop the charges against Muhammad Sanusi, last week.
“I believe the AG needs time to consider this representation. Therefore, I request a two-month postponement to allow all parties to obtain complete information and evaluate the representation.
“If the court agrees with the defence’s proposal, we request for a case management date to be set,” said the lawyer.
The Jeneri state assemblyman’s first representation was rejected by the AGC in May.
Meanwhile, deputy public prosecutor (DPP) Datuk Masri Daud confirmed receiving the representation on July 19 and said it needed time to be reviewed.
“We request the trial be rescheduled for the end of September and ask for the previously set trial dates to be vacated,” he said while agreeing to the request for postponement.
Judge Aslam then set September 27 for the case management and vacated the trial dates previously set for July 23, 29, and 30, as well as August 5, 6, 9, 12, 13, and 23.
