PUTRAJAYA: The Home Ministry is reviewing the Registration of Criminals and Undesirable Persons Act 1969 to give a second chance to individuals who previously had a brush with the law, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail .Saifuddin said individuals with criminal records under Act 7 come with several circumstances, among them individuals who were convicted and whose appeals were rejected.
Saifuddin also said individuals might have criminal records if they were merely investigated by the police and weren't charged. “Some were given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal but their names remain in the criminal record system,” said Saifuddin.“For example, how are they supposed to get business licences if they were stuck at the screening process?“So, we want to give a second chance to this segment. But, we have to be careful on this matter too,” said Saifuddin.“We will review the schedule of offences.
"So, we will thoroughly analyse these figures and we will divide them according to various categories,” said Saifuddin.Let Umno Youth contest upcoming Mahkota by-election, says Dr AkmalNasyid singer, composer Yasin gets life imprisonment, 12 strokes of cane for drug offences
