Former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has been charged with sedition. The charges stem from remarks he allegedly made about Malaysia's former king, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah. The accusations suggest that Muhyiddin's speech questioned the integrity of the former monarch and the monarchy’s PM pick. Muhyiddin, who is also an opposition leader, faces legal action as a result of these statements.
