Sarawak PKR has warned the government its usage of the Sedition Act to arrest politicians, lawyers, academicians, journalists and social activists who do not agree with the government will worsen Malaysia’s image as a moderate Muslim-majority country.

“It will further worsen our reputation and image because the issue of the use of the word 'Allah' also has a direct impact on the right of expression,” Sarawak PKR chief Baru Bian said today.
