Security Bill can foil terrorism, says IGP


KUALA LUMPUR: The National Security Council (NSC) Bill will help to counter any attempted terrorism in the country, says the Inspector-General of Police.

Although laws like the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma), Prevention of Crimes Act (Poca) and the Prevention of Terrorism Act (Pota) are adequate in countering terror-linked activities, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said the NSC Bill, which was passed on Dec 23, would help strengthen the efforts.
