Muhyiddin said while some portions of the reforms were still work in progress, he is happy with the progress so far.“But the progress we have made so far despite the challenges faced has been positive,” he said during a special interview ahead of PH’s first anniversary held at the ministry last week.Muhyiddin said among the promises the government made was to transform the PDRM into a respected force and to correct Malaysians’ views of the police.
He announced that the ministry has completed two Bills for the purpose of amending the Security Offences Act 2012 or Sosma and the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 . He added that the government will achieve its goal to formulate laws on security that can balance the need to protect the country against the preservation of fundamental rights as guaranteed in the Federal Constitution.The third challenge-cum-achievement Muhyiddin touted was improving border security by ensuring the proper deployment of assets.
