Even as Najib faces mounting pressure from Mahathir and Razaleigh, Malaysia’s leading political cartoonist Zunar reports: “My lawyer just informed that the government will charge me with NINE charges under The Sedition Act tomorrow, with the bail is about RM50,000. Otherwise I will be in jail.”

Will be interesting to see which of the cartoons are deemed as seditious and why they are considered to be so.
IGP is so obvious in selective prosecution.
The cartoonist is the modern version of the court jester. For ages, even feudal rulers with absolute power knew their value and paid for their upkeep. In Bolehland, they are now treated like terrorists, while the actual terrorists … CENSORED.

Could you let me know which part of the format is hard to get used to?
Too many cartoons poking fun at the FLOM !
The death-knell sounds ever louder for those in power….
They grow ever more desperate, as they cling to the lie
Their own deception lays them low
The naked greed no longer hidden
Their poverty of thought leads them a dance
get that professor, that Member of Parliament, that man in the street
jail that cartoonist he ridicules us
its only a drawing, but they see shadows.
self important men who cannot laugh
