No one else should take credit for the law reforms mooted by Barisan Nasional which saw the repeal of the Internal Security Act (ISA) and the three Emergency Declarations when both the Dewan Negara and Dewan Rakyat have their next sitting, Datuk Seri Najib Razak said.
He also announced that the government will do away with annual printing and publishing permits with permits that can be cancelled if regulations are flouted.
He said that the law reforms would put Malaysia on the right track to becoming a more open and progressive democracy while ensuring harmony.
The prime minister said the decision to scrap the ISA was part of his promise to amend the controversial law when he took office in 2009.
“These are not the fruits of their struggle. This was a decision made by the Barisan Nasional government because we listened to Malaysians who want this change.”
