He stated that he has informed the investigating officer that he will voluntarily appear in court this Thursday.

He said the charges against him were due to a Twitter post that he made on the Melaka Governor Tun Ali Rustam’s convoy, where he had said the governor’s convoy was blocking traffic when it made a U-turn on the Sprint Highway.
The post contained a video which was taken allegedly after the governor had dinner with his family at the Sri Ayutthaya Restaurant.
“He even waved to the people who were there,” Jay had said in his tweet.
Just witnessed one of the most bizarre things I've seen in my life.

The accusations against the aide to the Selangor MB join an increasing number of actions taken in the previous few months as a result of political figures, activists, and members of the public voicing opinions deemed unfavourable of the establishment, as reported by Malay Mail.
