The two Australian journalists who were arrested Saturday night for allegedly breaching security cordon to approach Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak will not be charged in court today.

Broadcaster ABC said today that the lawyer representing the two men was called by police and told no charges would be filed.

Earlier, the police said the duo, reporter Besser and camera operator Louie Eroglu, will be charged under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant from doing his duty.

"The lawyer for the ABC pair, Albert Tang, said he received a call from Ng Ahlek, the superintendent of police for Malaysia's Padawan District, telling him to bring his clients to court at 8.30am (local time) so they could be charged," the ABC reported.

If found guilty, they can be fined up to RM10,000 or jailed up to two years.

The duo was picked up at their hotel two hours after allegedly trying to cross the cordon to "aggressively" question Najib during his visit at Kota Sentosa.

Besser, who is attached with ABC's 'Four Corners' programme, questioned Najib on why millions of ringgit were deposited into his bank account as the PM he walked into a mosque, the ABC reported.

"The pair were surrounded by the Prime Minister's security team and then allowed to leave, before later being arrested and questioned for six hours in a police station," it reported.

ABC News director Gaven Morris reportedly denied the journalists had tried to obstruct public servants from doing their duty and did not see any security cordon.
