Papagomo faces sedition charge for alleged comments against king

He pleads not guilty in relation to social media post made on his X account on April 29

KUALA LUMPUR – Blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, also known as Papagomo, was charged in sessions court here today with posting seditious content on his X account against Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim.

Wan Azri, 41, who is also a former Umno Youth exco member, pleaded not guilty to the charge before judge Siti Aminah Ghazali.

He was charged with committing the offence at a condominium unit in Bukit Bintang here on April 29 at noon.

 The charge, under Section 4(1)(b) of the Sedition Act 1948 and punishable under Section 4(1) of the same act, provides for a maximum fine of RM5,000 or imprisonment of up to three years or both, upon conviction.

Deputy public prosecutors Khairul Azreem Mamat, Mohd Sabri Othman, and Abdul Malik Ayob prosecuted, while the accused was represented by lawyers Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali and Logen Eskander Abdullah. 

Earlier, Khairul informed the court that the prosecution did not propose bail, but if the court were to grant it, he recommended imposing a high amount, taking into account that the seditious publication involved the king.

“We also request a gag order so that the accused does not make any comments about this case. This order is necessary as a precautionary measure to ensure that no provocative comments are made,” he said.

Rafique sought bail for his client, saying Wan Azri had to support his wife and five children.

Siti Aminah allowed the accused bail of RM15,000 in one surety and ordered him to report to a police station monthly until the case is settled.

“The gag order is not allowed, and the court sets May 23 for mention of the case,” she said. – May 2, 2024
