Former Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim has pleaded not guilty at the Ayer Keroh Sessions Court today to a sedition charge linked to the Negeri Sembilan adat crisis in June.
The 84-year-old politician entered his plea after the charge was read before Sessions Court Judge Raja Noor Adilla Raja Mahyaldin.
According to the charge, Rais allegedly uttered seditious words at a hotel in Simpang Ampat, Alor Gajah, at about 1pm on June 5.
The charge relates to the ongoing dispute surrounding Negeri Sembilan’s adat and royal institution.
Further details of the proceedings, including the specific allegations and any bail conditions, are expected to be disclosed in court.
