Saifuddin slammed for U-turn on Printing Presses and Publications Act FMTNews

Home minister Saifuddin Nasution said the PPPA and the Sedition Act 1948 were still needed to preserve public peace and security.

She demanded Putrajaya explain the sort of threats to national security and peace that would require the law to be retained.In his written reply to Dewan Negara, Saifuddin had said that the PPPA and the Sedition Act 1948 were still needed to preserve public peace and security. “Despite the various pledges and promises, including during the 14th general elections in 2018, to repeal or amend these laws, they remain as they are useful tools to silence critics or those who do not conform to the norm.

The group pointed out that suppressing information from the public by using draconian laws would only promote disinformation, which in turn could fuel public unrest. “We believe that retaining those provisions will not be in line with an ongoing commitment to set up a Malaysian Media Council towards self-regulation of the media,” Geramm said.
