Sosma to be repealed – Dr Mahathir


(The Edge) – The government will repeal laws that are oppressive, especially the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Sosma, which was introduced during the former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak´s administration, allowed the government to arrest anyone without having to go to court.

“Najib´s law allows a person to be arrested and not to be taken to court, and if that person died, there will be neither inquiry nor action taken against those who killed him. That is the law passed by Najib and we will repeal that law,” Dr Mahathir said this at the Coalition of Klang Chinese Associations´ (CKCA) Tabung Harapan Fund Raising Dinner here tonight.
