Malaysia would not be a country at peace if the Ops Lalang dragnet was not carried out in 1987, BN's Tanjung Karang MP Noh Omar said today.
Noh Omar said that there was a threat of racial riots in 1987 before the dragnet, which saw the arrest of 106 people, was carried out.
"This was because the non-Malays had questioned the rights of Malays," said Noh, a former cabinet minister, while debating amendments to the Security Offences [Special Measures] (Sosma) in the Dewan Rakyat today.
The amendment seeks to place organised crimes as an offence punishable under Sosma.
