Rais Yatim expected to be charged in Melaka tomorrow
According to the e-Court system, the former Senate president is scheduled to be charged before judge Raja Noor Adilla Raja Mahyaldin at 9am.
Former Senate president Rais Yatim, 84, is set to be charged at Melaka sessions court tomorrow, according to the e-Court system. The details of his charge are not yet clear. In July, the Negeri Sembilan palace revoked the state honours bestowed on Rais, citing the need to preserve the honour of the royal institution. Rais, a former menteri besar and Umno stalwart, played a central role in the ongoing royal dispute in the state.
He publicly backed the removal of Tuanku Muhriz as the state's ruler, a move which led to the palace declaring the proclamation of the new Yang Dipertuan Besar invalid.
