Gerakan urges govt not to enact a new Sedition Act

PETALING JAYA: The government’s intention to abolish the Sedition Act by this year is welcomed, but there must be close scrutiny to prevent the introduction of a new law that can be a new Sedition Act in disguise, said Gerakan president Datuk Dr Dominic Lau.

“Gerakan urges the government to reinstate the moratorium on the Sedition Act 1948 pending its repeal and for police to cease all investigations under the law,” he said.
