It’s time to repeal the Sedition Act Malay, Chinese elites fight it out and ‘the bloody mess’ continues Voters can check their particulars with the EC this month
any piece of legislation which imprisons people for holding different views and opinions is to say the least, draconic. Such a law should not be a part of any legal system. To understand why this is so, one needs to inquire into history to look at the origins of the offence of sedition. The Indians who are really crying out for fundamental change in the performance of the Malaysian socio-political system are the Indians in the lowest rungs of Malaysian society. All the BN and Pakatan coalitions have done is to keep imitating each other in their approach to the problem. The Election Commission will conduct a month-long campaign from June 1 to June 30 to allow all registered voters to verify the accuracy of their voting particulars.
