Ramkarpal: Abolishing Sosma 'not in pipeline', govt to improve it instead

 

The government has no intention to repeal the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act which allows lengthy detention without trial.

Instead, according to Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Ramkarpal Singh, Putrajaya aims to improve the law by introducing several amendments in stages.

"It's not in the pipeline. But we are looking at improvements," he told reporters in Putrajaya this morning when asked if there is any plan to abolish Sosma.
