The satire graphic artist was told by police today that his case would no longer be pursued and would not be brought to court.

In a tweet, he said prosecutors have decided there would be “no further action”, and described it as a “victory”.

Fahmi curated numerous playlists on Spotify with the title “This is dengki ke?” which featured a picture of the Queen. The playlists were eventually taken down by Spotify, prompting the artist to move to Apple Music.

The playlist appeared to mock Tunku Hajah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, who is the Raja Permaisuri Agong, over a comment she made on her personal Instagram account.

A post on her account was about cooking Malaysian favourites such as bubur lambuk, roti John, cucur jagung, among other dishes at the Istana kitchen. One follower asked whether Istana chefs also received the vaccine, to which she replied “Dengki ke?” (Jealous?).

PAS Youth deputy chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari then lodged a police report against Fahmi, accusing the artist of insulting the Queen.

In April, 20 police officers broke into Fahmi’s house and arrested the graphic designer for investigations under the Sedition Act. He was remanded for a day and released on police bail.

Civil societies have spoken out against Fahmi’s arrest, saying it was disproportionate and exemplified the arbitrary nature of the Sedition Act.

Fahmi is no stranger to controversy as he was charged in 2016 under multimedia laws for his clown caricature of then prime minister Najib Razak.

Earlier, in the same year, he was also arrested and charged with three other activists for selling #KitaSemuaPenghasut T-shirts at a shopping complex.

He was subsequently freed of all the charges.
