ANALYSIS Pakatan Rakyat MPs have been left feeling ‘misled’ by Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in relation to the cabinet’s apparent ‘willingness’ to consider their revisions to the Prevention of Crime Act (Amendment and Extension) Bill 2013.

Events over the final 24 hours in the Dewan Rakyat before the Bill was passed last Wednesday proved to be a stark contrast to signals that Pakatan MPs had been receiving since Monday - that the cabinet may consider accepting some of their revisions.

On Tuesday their representative - Gombak MP Azmin Ali - met the speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia and expressed concern with the way the Bill was being rushed through, and was advised to approach Zahid to try and defer the Bill.
