The Kuala Lumpur High Court today ordered activist Badrul Hisham Shaharin to enter his defence on a charge of issuing defamatory statements that could damage the good name of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.

Judge Noor Ruwena Nurdin ruled this after allowing the prosecution's appeal against the decision of the Sessions Court, which acquitted and discharged Badrul, 48, also known as Chegubard, at the end of the prosecution's case.
