A MALAYSIAN state's royal council on Thursday urged authorities to investigate former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad for sedition over his alleged insult to those who trace descent from the south-east Asian region's ancient Bugis seafaring community.
Over the past few weeks, Mr Mahathir, 93, has been sharply criticised for comments at an opposition rally last month where he is reported to have described Prime Minister Najib Razak as a "Bugis pirate".
