Former Malaysian leader Muhyiddin charged with sedition for allegedly mocking former king

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was charged with sedition for questioning the integrity of the last king in a speech. Muhyiddin pleaded not guilty, asserting that his comments were based on facts. Critics argue the Sedition Act is misused to suppress dissent. Muhyiddin also faces separate corruption charges, which he claims are politically motivated.
