Blogger Charged for Insulting Dead Sultan

(Seremban, Malaysia) It's not clear how a deceased person can be insulted.
The trial of blogger Khairulnizam Abdul Ghani, who allegedly insulted the late sultan of Johor on his blog, has been set for three days hearing in October.

Sessions Court judge Zamri Bakar fixed three days from Oct 20 for the trial.

Khairulnizam, 29, was charged with insulting the late Sultan Iskandar Sultan Ismail on his blog adukataruna.blogspot.com.my.

He was charged with using a communication network or application service to knowingly upload the posting on his blog, with the intention to hurt the royal institution, between 7.25pm and 9.05pm on Jan 22.
Khairulnizam faces a potential fine of RM50,000 (about $15,000) and a year in jail.
