Poca set for amendments


THE Home Ministry is planning to table amendments to the Prevention of Crime Act (Poca) in next year’s Parliament session, says Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah.

The Deputy Home Minister said the proposed amendments were necessary following the Federal Court’s April 2022 decision, which ruled that Sections 4 and 15B of Poca were unconstitutional.
