Bar Council calls for abolition of Sedition Act

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Bar believes Malaysia should no longer rely on legislation alone to maintain peace and harmony on the country.

"The Prime Minister had promised to repeal the Sedition Act, and we are in support of this," said Bar Council president Christopher Leong at Parliament House Thursday, after handing over a memorandum calling for the abolition of the Act to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Mah Siew Kong.
