KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) information chief Datuk Razali Idris is expected to be charged under the Sedition Act for allegedly insulting the judiciary institution's decision and defaming a government body.
Clad in red Baju Melayu, Razali, who is also Terengganu's Kijal state assemblyman, arrived at the Court Complex before 9am accompanied by his supporters.
He is expected to face one charge under Section 4(1)(b) of the Act.
