Govt’s Sosma amendment Bill defeated by one vote


KUALA LUMPUR: A recount of votes for Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) amendment revealed that the government Bill was defeated by a single vote, says Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun.

The revelation came to light when Datuk Seri Salim Shariff (BN-Jempol) was said to have mistakenly marked his colleague Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh (BN-Besut) as absent when votes were being tallied on the Bill on Wednesday.
