Rais claims trial over sedition charge linked to N Sembilan crisis
Judge sets bail at RM8k, Oct 27 for case mention.
On September 25, Rais Yatim, the chairman of the Parti Wawasan Negara, made his way to the Ayer Keroh Court Complex in Melaka. The politician was expected to face charges under the Sedition Act. Rais entered the court at 8:40 am, flanked by his wife, Puan Sri Masnah Muhamat, and their son, Danni Rais, who is also a Klawang state assemblyman. He is set to face Judge Raja Noor Adilla Raja Mahyaldin.
On July 30, Tuanku Muhriz, the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, made the decision to revoke the Darjah Seri Utama Negeri Sembilan and Darjah Dato’ Setia Negeri Sembilan awards that had been conferred on Rais in 2001 and 1979. This action was taken by the royal figure to maintain the integrity, sanctity, and honor of the Negeri Sembilan royal institution.
Datuk Moha Zafir Ibrahim, the Registrar of Orders, confirmed the withdrawal of the two honors, emphasizing the importance of preserving the esteemed position of the royal institution. Rais previously held the position of menteri besar of Negeri Sembilan from 1978 to 1982.
