KUALA LUMPUR: Lawyer activist Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan has questioned the Government’s decision to table amendments to the Sedition Act 1948 when there was still uncertainty over the constitutionality of the act itself.

She said the amendments should not be tabled at this juncture as the Federal Court’s decision on law professor Azmi Sharom’s case to challenge the constitutionality of the act was still pending.
