00:00Former DAP MP P Ramasamy has questioned the government's move towards a review of the

00:06Security Offences Act 2012, saying this will not resolve the issues raised by critics of

00:12the law.

00:13In a statement, the former Batu Kawan MP said that SOSMA was inherently flawed and beyond

00:18improvement, adding that it should be scrapped.

00:21He said legislation designed to simplify the job of law enforcement at the expense of human

00:26rights is no law at all.

00:28On Wednesday, Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said that the government was considering

00:33the possibility of allowing bail for certain offences under SOSMA.

00:38SOSMA currently imposes a blanket no-bail rule for most offences, except in cases involving

00:43women, minors or individuals who are sick.

00:47However, Ramasamy said such reasoning stood in stark contrast with the stance taken by

00:52Pakatan Harapan during its time in the opposition, when it had called for the repeal of SOSMA

00:57or for offences to be made bailable.
