Yesterday, Sanusi, 48, pleaded not guilty in separate Sessions Courts in Selayang to two charges of incitement in relation to his remarks on the appointment of the Selangor menteri besar and the formation of the unity government, which he allegedly made at a ceramah last week. Both charges were framed under section 4 of the Sedition Act 1948, which provides for a fine of up to RM5,000 or a maximum jail term of three years, or both, on conviction for each offence. – Bernama, July 19, 2023.
