Zaid, however, declined to comment when asked by The Malaysian Insider this morning on his impending charge, adding that he would only do so after learning more about the matter. The former law minister had previously expressed surprise that his speech, “Rally behind Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad”, which he made at the Royal Selangor Club in September, was considered to be seditious. “I’m very surprised my speech is considered seditious. I remember my speech was in the context of democracy, that leaders can be charged, can be toppled by lawful means, through a vote of no confidence, public pressure,” he had said after being questioned by police last month. His speech was also uploaded on his blog, titled “Rally behind Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad”. – December 3, 2015. – (ELIZABETH ZACHARIAH)
