Six people nationwide will be hauled up in court tomorrow for insulting Perak Sultan Azlan Shah in blogs or through the posting of comments.
It is learnt that to be charged are two individuals at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court, one in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, one in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and one in Butterworth, Penang.
A few more are scheduled to be charged in Kuala Terengganu on Sunday with a similar offence.
It is understood that they are being hauled up for posting comments which have been deemed to be insulting to the Perak sultan over the present political crisis in the Silver State, which saw the Pakatan Rakyat-led government being ousted by Barisan Nasional following the defection of three assemblypersons.
So, we don’t know who the 6-8 are. If it’s me, it’ll certainly come as news :P
I guess we’ll have to wait and see exactly what words got these bloggers into all this trouble before being too quick to pass judgment, but I have a feeling that this action will be unjust.
Hmm. I don’t think there’s much else to be said for now, even though many thoughts come to mind. We’ll watch closely for more news and details, and stand by our fellow bloggers if need be.
