Former Malaysian PM Muhyiddin charged with sedition over monarchy comments

The now opposition leader is accused of insulting the previous king during an election campaign rally earlier this month.

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who currently leads the main opposition coalition, has been charged with sedition for allegedly insulting the country’s previous king.

Muhyiddin appeared in court in the northeastern town of Gua Musang on Tuesday morning where he pleaded not guilty.

The charges relate to comments he made on August 14 while campaigning in a state election for his conservative Perikatan Nasional alliance.

He could face as long as three years in prison if found guilty.
