Rais Yatim didakwa menghasut berkait krisis adat N Sembilan
Bekas speaker Dewan Negara mengaku tidak bersalah selepas tuduhan dibacakan di hadapan hakim Raja Noor Adilla Raja Mahyaldin.
Former Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Negara, Rais Yatim, has been charged in the Ayer Keroh Sessions Court, Malacca, with sedition in relation to the Negeri Sembilan customary crisis issue last June. The 84-year-old maintained his innocence when the charges were read out to the judge, Raja Noor Adilla Raja Mahyaldin, according to Astro Awani.
The accusation states that Rais used the term "sedition" in reference to Tunku Nadzaruddin, the 12th Yang Di Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan. Consequently, it is suggested that Rais should fully support and adhere to him, as the latter's actions as the 12th Yang Di Pertuan Besar would determine the course of the monarchy. The petitioner, Shahrizat Ismail, Nor Azizah Aling, and Nadia Mohd Izhar, have proposed a bond of RM10,000 with a surety.
Rais' legal team, led by his son Danni, requested the bond amount to be reduced. The judge permitted Rais to provide a RM8,000 bond with a surety and set the next hearing date for October 27.
