Rais claims trial over sedition charge linked to N Sembilan crisis
Judge sets bail at RM8k, Oct 27 for case mention.
Former Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Rais Yatim is set to face charges at Ayer Keroh Sessions Court in Melaka on September 25, according to the e-Kehakiman portal. Rais reportedly confirmed the matter to media outlets. The specifics of the charge and the applicable legal provision have not been made public. Rais attended a ceremony on June 5 in Alor Gajah, Melaka, where Tunku Nadzaruddin Tuanku Ja’afar was proclaimed the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan.
He stated that the process adhered to state customs, but the validity of the proclamation was later contested. The Dewan Keadilan dan Undang declared that Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir remains the legitimate Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, with no vacancy in the position.
