IGP: Bukit Aman will use existing laws for cases under Sosma


KUALA LUMPUR: Bukit Aman will utilise existing laws including the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) for cases under Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) after July 31, says Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.

This is after the motion to extend the enforcement of sub-section 4(5) of Sosma (with the powers to detain suspects for up to 28 days without trial) for another five years beginning from July 31, 2022, failed to pass at the Dewan Rakyat on Wednesday (March 23).
