KUALA LUMPUR, Sept twenty Mohamad Sabu was arrested by military in Penang this dusk over his remarks upon the 1950 Bukit Kepong tragedy.
The PAS emissary president had presented himself during the state military domicile during 8.30pm before being released upon bail half an hour later.
He is due to be charged in the Butterworth Sessions Court tomorrow with criminal insult after being indicted of glorifying communist guerrillas who attacked the Bukit Kepong military hire in the pre-independence attack.
Umno's Utusan Malaysia had first indicted the maverick politician (picture) of glorifying Ahmad Indera in an August twenty-seven inform which quoted Mohamad as saying which the communist personality was the true hero.
Twenty-five policemen were killed in the conflict upon the Bukit Kepong military hire in 1950.
The daily as well as Malay hardliners in Umno have repeatedly called for Mohamad to be charged over the comment with some even insisting which the PAS personality be stripped of his citizenship.
Mohamad denies glorifying communists, saying he never referred to "communism" in his speech.
If found guilty of the offence under Section 500 of the Penal Code, Mohamad faces up to two years in prison and/or the fine.
