Ministry mulling shorter detention period under Sosma thesundaily Muhyiddin Sosma DewanRakyat Malaysia
The current 28-day maximum detention period for suspects arrested under the Security Offences Act 2012 may be reduced by half once the act is amended later.
“So we brought it back to the ministry for further discussions, as we were told to study more in depth on certain clauses. One of them is on the current 28-day maximum detention period, which many have claimed to be too long. Muhyiddin said the ministry was also considering removing a clause under Sosma that allows for politically-motivated arrests as well as to detain those deemed to have caused an ‘economic sabotage’.
