Police are investigating Mandiri coordinator Hamdin Nordin under the Sedition Act over a social media post about Sabah Governor Musa Aman, the group said after Hamdin was barred from leaving the country this morning.

Mandiri executive director Amir Hariri Abd Hadi said Hamdin was also informed that police were investigating his participation in the Himpunan Gempur Rasuah Sabah 1.0 rally on Dec 31, 2024.

Amir said Hamdin (above) had never received a notice under Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code or been called to give a statement about the rally, which took place nearly two years ago.

Mandiri understood that a travel ban imposed by Sabah police had been in force since Oct 16, but Amir said Hamdin only learnt of the restriction when he reached the KLIA2 international departure gate and missed his flight.
