PM Anwar: Sosma stays, but must not be abused like ISA

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today in Parliament justified keeping the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) in force.

However, the prime minister agreed that the laws must be clear and he was against the misuse of such law similar to the repealed Internal Security Act 1960.

“The question of terrorism in Malaysia cannot be taken lightly. There are police officers shot dead because the shooter thought it was his responsibility to shoot the police and other leaders,” he said in response to PH’s Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong’s supplementary question.
