PETALING JAYA: Muda has reminded the government, especially Pakatan Harapan, to continue its reform agenda and to abolish the Sedition Act.
Muda secretary-general Amir Hariri Abd Hadi said Pakatan politicians had previously backed the Abolish the Sedition Act Movement, together with hundreds of NGOs, to make three demands.
"Thirdly, the abolished Act should not be replaced with another equally-oppressive law," he said in a statement on Tuesday . A panel of three judges led by Justice Datuk Hadhariah Syed Ismail unanimously decided to reinstate the Shah Alam Sessions Court's April 9, 2018 decision sentencing Wan Ji to nine months in prison for the offence.
Muda pointed out that the use of the Sedition Act had continued to increase since 2012 since the Internal Security Act was repealed.
