00:00 Blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wanderis, or Papa Gomo, has been charged over an alleged seditious post on ex in relation to the young Dipertuan Agong.
00:10 The former UMNO Youth Exco member pleaded not guilty after the charge was read to him before Judge Siti Amina Ghazali at the KL Sessions Court on Thursday.
00:20 According to the charge sheet, the 41-year-old allegedly published the video under the account Sir_Azri, where he questioned why the King met the owner of KK Supermart, which was embroiled in the socks controversy.
00:35 The offence was allegedly committed at a condominium in Bukit Bintang at 12pm on April 29.
00:42 The charge was framed under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948, which carries a maximum jail term of three years or a RM5,000 fine, or both, upon conviction.
00:55 Deputy Public Prosecutor Khairul Azrim Mamat did not offer bail and asked for a gag order to be imposed against the accused to deter him from commenting on the case.
01:06 Defence Counsel Muhammad Rafiq Rashid Ali objected to the gag order application and also argued that the charge against his client was a bailable offence.
01:17 He pleaded for bail to be fixed at RM10,000 as his client had to support his wife and five children.
01:24 Judge Siti Amina allowed bail at RM15,000 with one surety and ordered the accused to report to a nearby police station once a month until the completion of the case.
01:35 The court fixed May 23 for next mention.
