Did anyone see this coming?
Amidst the criticism towards the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government, a few Malaysians looked to former Youth and Sports Minister as a ray of hope especially after seeing the work he does for his Muar constituents. The MP has also been extremely outspoken in questioning the way the PN government has been operating. And it seems like he isn’t stopping any time soon!
Syed Saddiq posted a video yesterday (21 July) claiming that he has been threatened with prosecution if he doesn’t join the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government. He added that whenever there is important voting to be done in the Parliament, there will be incoming threats, especially in months like July, December and January. Now, a week before the Parliament is set to reconvene, he allegedly received the threats as well.
“Berani kerana benar (Brave because I stand for truth). I will never sell my soul and principles to Perikatan Nasional.”
Berani kerana benar.
It is in moments like this that i am reminded why i joined Politics.
Truth will always prevail.
Saya lebih rela masuk mahkamah dari masuk Perikatan Nasional.
Bring it on!
Jumpa di Mahkamah KL esok 8pagi & Live FB/insta 8PM untuk pendedahan saya.#Lawan pic.twitter.com/sinWaupIOp

The MP said that at 8am today (22 July), he will be going to the Kuala Lumpur Court to be tried and that he will be conducting a live broadcast on his Facebook and Instagram at 8pm to shed further light on the issue.
“It’s in moments like this that I’m reminded why I joined politics. Truth will always prevail. I would rather go to court than join Perikatan Nasional,” he said.
Syed Saddiq’s controversial video comes after sources claimed that he will be charged in the Sessions Court here tomorrow on one charge of breach of trust involving RM1 million and one other charge reported Astro Awani. He will be charged under Section 405 of the Penal Code in relation to an alleged breach of trust of funds of a political party and Section 403 of the Penal Code in relation to misappropriation of property, namely money with the incidents happening in 2018 and 2020.
Suffice to say Malaysians are waiting to see an update in this sudden turn of events. Let us know what you think about this!
