The former PM’s case garnered media attention, is of public interest, and warrants being heard
: The Kota Bharu High Court today allowed an application by former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to transfer his sedition trial from the Gua Musang Sessions Court to the Kuala Lumpur High Court.
Muhyiddin’s lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, explained that the application was based on several factors, including the complexity of legal issues and the exceptional challenges expected to arise, particularly concerning the constitutional validity of certain provisions in the Sedition Act 1948. On Nov 4, Muhyiddin’s legal team formally requested that the trial be transferred from the Gua Musang Sessions Court to the Kota Bharu High Court.
