N9 Polls: Police Open Investigation Into Jempol MP Over Alleged Seditious Remarks

Police: Police have opened an investigation paper against Jempol Member of Parliament Datuk Shamsulkahar Mohd Deli over a campaign speech in Seremban Jaya which was alleged to contain seditious elements. Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said the investigation was launched following a report lodged by a 55-year-old man who was dissatisfied with a social media video post showing the politician's campaign speech.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the investigation was initiated under several legal provisions, including Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, Section 4(A)(1) of the Election Offences Act 1954, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. These sections address issues related to public mischief, election offences, and improper use of network facilities, respectively.

Media reports yesterday stated that DAP had lodged a police report against Shamsulkahar following allegations that he issued defamatory remarks. The remarks were allegedly linking the party to a caricature deemed insulting to the Sultan of Selangor during the Negeri Sembilan State Election campaign.
