Anwar to Najib: Make stand on preventive laws clear

By Lisa J. Ariffin

KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today urged the prime minister to make a clear stand on preventive legislation instead of making cosmetic changes to existing laws.

The opposition leader made this statement when asked to comment on the proposed National Harmony Act that is set to replace the Sedition Act.

“The fundamental issue is whether you do support or not draconian acts,” Anwar (picture) told a press conference today.

“If you say no, it is not a question of introducing a new act to replace or to amend,” he added.
