Chegubard questions why no action taken against Bloomberg

A news portal from the mainstream media reported Bersatu activist Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegubard, will be charged in the Johor sessions court tomorrow over a social media post about a Bloomberg report that alleged high-level talks about a casino in Forest City, Johor.

The portal, FMT wrote Badrul’s lawyer Rafique Rashid Ali said his client would head to Johor tomorrow morning to face the charges.

“We are not aware about the details of the charges as of yet,” Rafique said in a press conference today.

Meanwhile, Badrul asked why no police report had been filed on the Bloomberg story, adding that he was only commenting based on the news outlet’s report.

Last week, Bloomberg reported that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had met Berjaya founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan and Genting Group CEO Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay to discuss a casino licence for Forest City.

The report, quoting sources familiar with the matter, said a casino would help revive the US$100 billion property project.

Anwar, Berjaya and Genting have denied the report.

In his Facebook post, Badrul insinuated that the alleged casino was the “financial hub” that Anwar had previously announced, and thanked Bloomberg and Singapore’s Business Times for publishing articles on the talks.

Meanwhile, Badrul pleaded not guilty to two charges of criminal defamation and sedition involving the Yang di-Pertuan Agong at the cybercrime sessions court in Kuala Lumpur earlier today.

Badrul was accused of making defamatory statements at Istana Negara at 6pm on January 22, which could damage the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s reputation.

The offence under Section 500 of the Penal Code carries a maximum two years’ imprisonment, or fine, or both, if convicted.

He was also accused of publishing seditious statements against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on his Facebook page in Taman Bukit Cheras at 12.15pm on April 6.

The charge under Section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act 1948 carries a maximum RM5,000 fine or imprisonment of up to three years, or both, if convicted.
