PKR leader offers to be Akmal's lawyer


JOHOR BARU: A PKR leader has offered to represent Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh, who is being investigated under the Sedition Act 1948 and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Abdul Karim said Dr Akmal should not be investigated under these laws as both are "iron-fisted" in nature and often labelled "draconian".
