PCA amendments unconstitutional, says Karpal

The tabled amendments to the Prevention of Crime Act (PCA) are unconstitutional, said DAP national chairperson Karpal Singh today.

"Being answerable to Parliament is one thing, but we are doing something unconstitutional. It is unconstitutional," he said.

Karpal said that having a three-member board as opposed to a minister calling the shots would make little difference, and that the amendments would still make the law similar to the now abolished Internal Security Act (ISA).
