Court to decide if Chegubard needs to enter defence in royal insult case on Nov 4


KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court has fixed Nov 4 to decide whether to call Bersatu Port Dickson division chief Badrul Hisham Shaharin to enter his defence or acquit him of a charge of making seditious remarks that could tarnish the good name of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia.

Judge Norma Ismail set the date after deputy public prosecutor Nursyuhada Husna Sulaiman informed the court that the prosecution had closed its case following the testimony of the investigating officer, the final prosecution witness, during proceedings on Thursday (Aug 7).
