Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor’s hearing for a case involving two charges of incitement during a political speech related to the appointment of the Selangor menteri besar and the formation of the coalition government has been postponed.

Judge Aslam Zainuddin granted the Kedah menteri besar’s lawyer Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud’s request for a postponement of the hearing initially set for today.

The lawyer informed the court that a second representation had been submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) seeking to drop the charges against Sanusi last week.

"I believe the AG needs time to consider this representation. Therefore, I request a two-month postponement to allow all parties to obtain complete information and evaluate the representation.

"If the court agrees with the defence's proposal, we request for a case management date to be set," Awang added.
