THE Malaysian Bar is astounded by Home Affairs Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s announcement that the government has decided to retain the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (“Sosma”) and the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 (“Poca”).
We are also dismayed at his statements that without Sosma, terrorists and criminals would be free to threaten our national security, and that “things are also still under control with two other security acts, the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 (Poca) and Prevention of Terrorism Act (Pota)”.
