CYBERJAYA, Sept 26 — The Security Offences Act 2012 needs to be widely applied to crack down on syndicate-related criminal activities in the country as a whole, said Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.
“At that time, the use of Sosma was effective in combating these syndicates, and the arrests not only included the smugglers but also enforcement officers in cahoots with the syndicates,” he said. “Like in Johor before this, police arrested the same individual 10 times over the same case. Sosma must be used for crimes involving syndicates, it is only then we can arrest and cripple them,” he said.
It was first proposed in 2012 to replace the Internal Security Act 1960, which allows for detention without trial and which has since been repealed.
