ASEAN nations are very diverse with different morals. Online speech in Malaysia & Indonesia can mean criticizing the QURAN for the treatment of women.

calling the Thai king a fruitcake will lead to 20 years in prison. so no, this will not happen. Muhyiddin does not know what he is talking about.

Duterte would have been in prison for comparing himself to Hitler according to ASEAN law. 🤣

(BANGKOK) — A court in Thailand on Tuesday sentenced a former civil servant to a record prison term of 43 years and six months for breaching the country’s strict law on insulting or defaming the monarchy, lawyers said.

The Bangkok Criminal Court found the woman guilty on 29 counts of violating the country’s lese majeste law for posting audio clips to Facebook and YouTube with comments deemed critical of the monarchy, the group Thai Lawyers for Human Rights said.

The court initially announced her sentence as 87 years, but reduced it by half because she pleaded guilty to the offenses, the group said.
