He was questioned by the police Tuesday and expects to be charged with sedition soon. Without getting into specifics, Zaid said he was questioned for about one and a half hours over an article published in The Star.
"I expect to be charged in court," he said when contacted on Tuesday.
It was reported that Zaid was facing investigation under the Sedition Act for an article criticising the recent Court of Appeal decision on the unilateral conversion of M. Indira Gandhi's children to Islam.
He had also tweeted last week that he received a call from the IPD Putrajaya CID department over his article titled "My heart goes to you, Indira".
In his article, Zaid said the religious tussle was "heart-wrenching" and was critical of the Malaysian laws and the judiciary.
"I just feel sick, thinking how the legal system cannot grant relief to a mother who has been deprived of her daughter for so many years," he wrote in reference to the Court of Appeal's majority decision to set aside an Ipoh High Court order quashing the conversion of Indira's three children to Islam.
Why didn't he propose some 'amendments' to the syariah law when he was with the Cabinet?
