Reuters has reported that "a Malaysian man opted to go to jail on Tuesday instead of paying bail after he was accused of sedition for implying the country's deputy premier had a hand in the murder of a Mongolian woman, his lawyer said."
It's a convoluted story and the allegations are hard to establish, but not something anyone should be imprisoned for. Yet another example of why these kinds of laws need to be repealed - they were brought in by colonial repressors and are used now as they were then - to silence oppositional voices.
