Datuk Zaid Ibrahim insisted that he will not apologise for his remarks against the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.



The DAP member claimed it is a small matter and he had not broken any laws by responding to the monarch's comments.



He was speaking to reporters before attending a Pakatan Harapan members and leaders meeting in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.



Earlier this week, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah voiced his anger and disappointment over Datuk Zaid's jab at him on Twitter.



Datuk Zaid tweeted that the ruler should be "careful" with his words and that everyone would be affected if "the country burns".

To me, it is not wrong, for this reason, leave it to the police. Let the police investigate. If the court says I am wrong, so be it. However, I feel I did not say anything wrong. I leave to the police. There is no need to apologise. We only need to apologise if we did something wrong.)
