PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The government has no intention of reviving the Internal Security Act 1960, which was abolished in 2012, and will use existing legislation to maintain peace and national security, says Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The findings of a committee to study the matter had found that laws such as the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) and the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 (Poca) were important and should be defended although some amendments might be needed later.
