Dr M: NSC Act amendments to ensure PM cannot 'break the law legally'

The revised East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) will see Malaysian contractors having a 40% participation in the RM44bil project, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

KUALA LUMPUR: The National Security Council (NSC) Act was amended so that a prime minister will not be able to "break the law legally", says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. 

He said that under the current law, a prime minister could abuse the power to declare an area a security zone.
