KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 — Youth coalition Sekratariat Solidariti Rakyat has accused the government today of intimidating the public after seven of its activists were today investigated by the police under the Sedition Act 1948.
“SSR and other activists have given our full cooperation to the police. Yet here we would like to state that the use of the Sedition Act is extreme and is a form of excessive intimidation to ordinary people.
