KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition MPs have called for a draft of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (Pota) to be made available to them as soon as possible so they can prepare themselves for a debate when it is tabled.

"The Prevention of Terrorism Bill is coming up for debate, but we have still not been given a draft and are expected to debate it in less than ten days," Wong Chen (PKR-Kelana Jaya) said at a press conference at parliament lobby on Wednesday.
