[PAC chief calls arrest of editors 'a mistake'] Staff from The Malaysian Insider (TMI) and The Edge should not have been arrested under the Sedition Act 1948, said Public Accounts Committee chaireperson Nur Jazlan Mohamed.

Nur Jazlan, who is also a TMI columnist, said he believes that TMI’s report that led to the arrests was a case of misreporting, with neither the intention to incite nor the ability to do so with the offending article.

"They shouldn’t have been arrested under the Sedition Act. If there was a mistake, there will be other laws to deal with it.
