JOHOR BARU: MCA deputy president Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong has welcomed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s call to retain the Sedition Act 1948, but says there is a need to straighten out and review controversial clauses in the Act.

He said a review of the Act was necessary as more explicit clauses or sections had to be added to handle certain issues.
