A Malaysian artist and prominent opposition activist was jailed for a month on Tuesday, for publishing a caricature of Prime Minister Najib Razak looking like a clown. Artist Fahmi Reza was found guilty under a communications law for spreading online content deemed “obscene, indecent, false, menacing or offensive in character with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass another person”.  Fahmi was among anti-government and opposition leaders and activists rounded up after protests against Najib over his handling of a multi-billion dollar scandal tied to state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Malaysia will hold general elections this year due by August and it’s been an uncomfortable few years for Najib, with headlines swirling about a scandal, but according to Bloomberg, Najib is arguably in his strongest position since his narrow victory in the 2013 ballot.
