BN MPS Sell Out Sabah, S'Wak: Sedition Act will criminalize calls for autonomy, rights - critics

2015-04-09 06:26:09| IT Services - Topix.net

Critics of Putrajaya's proposed amendments to the Sedition Act 1948 claim the changes would not only criminalise calls for Sabah and Sarawak's secession from Malaysia but may also be abused to punish those seeking more rights for the east Malaysian states. Once the revisions to the Act are approved and gazetted by both houses of Parliament, analysts and lawmakers alike fear that authorities may choose to interpret any demand for greater autonomy in east Malaysia as prompting secession.
