Chegubard to submit representation to drop sedition charge

Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegubard, will submit a representation to drop a sedition charge made against him for his Facebook remark that allegedly tarnished the good name Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.

His lawyer, Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali, informed Sessions Court judge Siti Aminah Ghazali when the case came up for mention today.

Earlier, deputy public prosecutor Wan Ahmad Hijrah Wan Abdullah told the court that the prosecution had submitted documents related to the case to the lawyers and this was confirmed by Rafique.

The court, which had set Nov 26 and 27 to hear the case, then set Jan 6 next year for mention.

On July 11 this year, Badrul (above), 45,  pleaded not guilty in the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on a charge of issuing defamatory remarks that would tarnish the good name of the king.

The offence was allegedly committed at the Office of the Comptroller of Royal Household, Istana Negara, at 6pm, on Jan 22.
