“The cops have to be more circumspect in using the Act. If they can use other existing law allocation, they should exhaust those laws first, if it’s more appropriate,” he told reporters after attending the Prison Day celebration in Kajang this morning. Muhyiddin said sedition should only be used in grave matters, such as incitement of hatred against the monarchy or public institutions.
