PUTRAJAYA, Feb 14 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today directed Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution to review and “improve” the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012, a law that human rights groups have described as draconian.

“PM had asked for Sosma to be reviewed and studied. God-willing, the home affairs minister will appear in Parliament to explain,” Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said at the weekly post-Cabinet meeting media briefing here.

“But in principle there are a few issues that had been agreed upon for improvement or reviewed,” he added.
