Published on: Tuesday, May 17, 2016
KAJANG: Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (ISMA) president Abdullah Zaik Abd Rahman was ordered to enter his defence over a charge of publishing a seditious article on the ISMA website about two years ago. Sessions Court judge Noridah Adam made the decision after finding the prosecution had proven a prima facie case against Abdullah Zaik, 48. However, the court acquitted Abdullah Zaik on a charge of uttering seditious words with regard to the arrival of the Chinese and the British to Malaya after the prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case against him.
