<h2>Former Damansara member of parliament (MP) Tony Pua is being investigated by the police for posting Facebook statuses that have been deemed seditious in nature against the the royal institution</h2>

<div class="segment-body">

<div class="">
<p>In a <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.facebook.com/TonyPua72/posts/928713118616803">Facebook status</a> yesterday, 4 February, Pua said he will be investigated for sedition over his &#8220;I beg your pardon?&#8221; <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.facebook.com/TonyPua72/posts/927428608745254">Facebook post</a> published last Friday, 2 February.</p>
<p>This post coincided with the Federal Territories <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://says.com/my/news/its-confirmed-najib-got-a-50-discount-on-his-sentence">Pardons Board&#8217;s confirmation</a> that Datuk Seri Najib Razak&#8217;s jail sentence had been reduced from 12 years to six.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ah. No escape after all.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) himself acted very fast, very efficient, working overtime on a Sunday, paying personal attention to the reports, presumably filed by UMNO boys.</p>
</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be giving my statement to the police at Bukit Aman at 1pm tomorrow (5 February).</p>
<p>&#8220;Wish me luck!&#8221; wrote Pua, who has always been critical of the 1MDB scandal from as early as 2010.</p>

<h2>Meanwhile, IGP Razarudin Husain said in a statement yesterday that Pua will be investigated for six statements he made on Facebook over the past few days</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>The statements that will be investigated are:<br />– &#8220;Trust me, it&#8217;s not a scam&#8221;<br />– &#8220;Oh, wow, after all these years, Najib/UMNO cybertroopers still love me&#8221;<br />– &#8220;Can someone send me to jail for one year and in exchange, pay me RM50 million?&#8221;<br />– &#8220;Pretty please?&#8221;<br />– &#8220;King Klep pardoned!!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Such statements are seditious in nature as they incite the public to harbour resentment and disrespect towards the royal institution, pertaining to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong&#8217;s absolute powers in exercising his authority under Article 42 of the Federal Constitution,&#8221; <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.facebook.com/pdrmsiaofficial/posts/785053550321534">said</a>&nbsp;Razarudin.</p>
<p>He added that Pua will be probed under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act.</p>
<p>Razarudin&#8217;s statement comes after UMNO Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh announced that the youth wing would file police reports nationwide against Pua, citing alleged disrespectful remarks against the royal institution, reported <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2024/02/04/tony-pua-facing-sedition-probe-over-fb-posts-says-igp/">FMT</a>.</p>
<p>UMNO vice-president Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail also called for Pua to remove his posts and issue an apology, warning that failure to do so could lead to legal action.</p>
