KUALA LUMPUR: Various groups are calling for the police to drop its sedition probe against veteran journalist Datuk A. Kadir Jasin over his blogpost on the King’s expenses.

The police, said the Lawyers for Liberty, must act consistent with the reform agenda of the new Pakatan Harapan government, which had promised to review or abolish oppressive laws and provisions under the Sedition Act, the Communications and Multimedia Act and the Penal Code.
