: Malaysia May Lift Curbs On Public Gatherings (RTTNews) - Malaysia's Najib Razak ministry is thinking of lifting restrictions on public gatherings, including those for political purposes, and to enable people to assemble peacefully without the need to have prior police permission, reports said. Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, who promised some months ago to review "archaic' legislaion under the purview of his ministry, said that Section 27 of the Police Act would be reviewed to "recognize the right of the public to gather peacefully." Under that section of law, an assembly of more than five persons is considered illegal and prior permission or permit is required from the police for holding such a gathering. "We have been hearing a lot of debate on the issuance of permits to gather. Thus far, the police allowed gatherings that do not pose threats. So, we might as well allow for it this away, although it is to be held at suitable areas. At the end of the day, it is about national security and stability," he was quoted as saying. Public gatherings, held at specific places, will soon be gazetted, Hussein said Wednesday after a committee meeting to review several legislations under the purview of his ministry. The government may also consider shortening the detention period under the controversial Internal Security Act (ISA), which allows 60 days of detention of accused without trial, he added. |
