KUALA LUMPUR: The Dewan Rakyat passed the Prevention of Crime Act (PCA) 2013 despite attempts by Opposition lawmakers to “block” the Bill from passing in Parliament.

The move to stop the amendments to the controversial bill from proceeding to the final stages of debate at the committee stage failed after calls for a vote bloc following heated debates by nine parliamentarians during second reading.
