KUALA LUMPUR: Violent crime, property offences and narcotics cases have gone up since all detentions under the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 (POCA) were suspended following a Federal Court ruling in 2022, says Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah.
The Deputy Home Minister said since the suspension came into effect on Apr 28, 2022, violent crime cases increased from 17,198 last year to 20,391 this year.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
