#KiniNews: Muhyiddin pleads not guilty; Don't practise double standards when under probe, says Zahid

[KiniNews] Perikatan Nasional chief Muhyiddin Yassin has claimed trial to a sedition charge.

He pleaded not guilty after the charge was read to him at the Gua Musang Sessions Court before judge Nik Mohd Tarmizie Nik Mohd Shukri.

The charge framed under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act was over a speech he gave in Felda Perasu, Kelantan, on Aug 14.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has urged everyone not to practise double standards by claiming that the government is unfair when investigations are conducted against them.

“When it happens to them, they claim it is a rushed job. If it happens to me, ‘this is a very comprehensive investigation.’ The reality is that when you do something wrong, an investigation is carried out," he said.

He said this in response to Bersatu's claim that the investigation regarding Muhyiddin’s speech, which allegedly touched on the credibility of the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, was conducted hastily.
