COMMENT Now that the Kuala Lumpur High Court has upheld the acquittal of PKR vice-president Chua Tian Chang, I have to say that Tian Chua (as he is better known) should not have been charged with sedition at all in the first place.

In my past articles, I have mentioned the reasons why, but nothing confirms my suspicion more than the two court prosecutions, which led to decisions that acquitted Chua, were nothing but attempts at intimidating the Batu lawmaker.

The way I look at it, this was also a way to distract the people’s attention from what actually transpired during the Sulu intrusion.
