Former speaker: Now not the right time to repeal Sosma, Sedition Act
Former Dewan Rakyat speaker Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof has said now is “not the right time” to focus on repealing laws such as the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) and the Sedition Act.
Speaking at a lecture on “Rebuilding the nation through reforms” held in the Parliament building last night, Ariff urged the government to focus more on strengthening the nation’s economy and existing infrastructures.
Emphasising the need for political stability...
I fully agree with the speaker. A knife, no matter how sharp, if it's in the hands of a good man will be used to do a lot of good. On the other hand, a blunt knife in the hands of an evil man will be used to do a lot of harm. Undi 18, if they are wise and informed voters, will do the nation good. The opposite is equally true.
