PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal here has ordered independent speaker Wan Ji Wan Hussin (pic) to begin serving his nine-month prison sentence from Monday (Sept 25) for publishing offensive words and insulting the Sultan of Selangor via Facebook 11 years ago.

This followed a unanimous decision by a panel of three judges led by Justice Datuk Hadhariah Syed Ismail to reinstate the Shah Alam Sessions Court's April 9, 2018 decision sentencing Wan Ji to nine months in prison for the offence, and dismiss his appeal against the conviction and sentence.
