Criminal Procedure Code is sufficient for security needs


PARLIAMENT spoke decisively on March 23, 2022 to vote down the motion to extend the enforcement of Section 4(5) of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma), which allows for the detention of suspects for up to 28 days without trial.

It would therefore be unparliamentary of Home Minster Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin to retable another motion on Sosma in this current session, as reported in “Sosma to be retabled in Dewan Rakyat this afternoon” (thestar.com.my; July 20; https://bit.ly/ 3PCYTnd).
