: A government backbencher today suggested for the government not to repeal the Sedition Act 1948, and instead amend it according to the current situation.
The Bill was tabled for second reading today to apply for additional expenditure on services this year following the restructuring of several ministries, the establishment of several new ministries, and the dissolution of one ministry in line with the formation of a new Cabinet on March 10, 2020. Citing the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation and the Lahad Datu invasion incidents in Sabah, she said the events should be taken as lessons on the importance of unity, patriotic spirit and national sovereignty, so as not to be deceived by foreign propaganda and elements.
Azizah said Malaysian unity was something special that needed to be protected to ensure that the country remained known as a multi-racial nation that lived in harmony, regardless of whether they were in the Peninsula, Sabah or Sarawak.
