Stop inciting please or you will be making the Sedition Act more and more relevant

The news:


Kuasa Sultan: Kenyataan Khalid bukan pendirian PAS


I think the MP of Shah Alam should  understand that certain sensitive things need not be said in public  especially in a PC lah, the public statement may lead to charges of sedition....you are a member of Parlimen for goodness sake, please know your Law! The Sultan has already sounded his unhappiness of  MP Shah Alam stand against MAIS remember?

What did MP of Shah Alam said yesterday? Well the Malay Mail reported:

PAS today distanced itself from a remark by one of its MPs who claimed that the Selangor Sultan should not have the absolute discretion on who should fill the mentri besar’s post, according to the party’s online mouthpiece, HarakahDaily 

Constitutional Law Expert Professor Emeritus Shad Saleem Faruqi opined that the Sultan have the powers under the Selangor State Constitution or the Undang-Undang Tubuh Negeri Selangor to appoint his MB:


Now compare what MP of Shah Alam purportedly said about the powers of the Sultan of Selangor to appoint his MB and what former MP of Jelutong the late Karpal Singh got for seditious remarks against the Sultan of Perak:

Shouldn't the MP of Shah Alam be investigated for sedition too?

......better still can PAS tell its YBs to Stop inciting please, or you guys will be making the Sedition Act more and more relevant. Not that I am displeased by it.

Thank you.
