KUALA LUMPUR: Amendments to the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) are expected to be tabled in the next meeting of the Dewan Rakyat, says Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

Saifuddin said the draft Bill is currently in its final stage of review, and the details are being studied by the Home Ministry, the Attorney-General’s Chambers and the police.

"The draft is expected to be tabled in Parliament during the Second Meeting of the Fifth Session of the 15th Parliament," he said in a written reply dated Jan 27.

Saifuddin said the amendments would be tabled once all stakeholder consultations are completed and the cabinet approves the Bill.

He was responding to a question from RSN Rayer (PH–Jelutong) on when the government would implement the legal reforms to the Act.
