The abolition of the Sedition Act 1948 is part of the government’s transformation programme and should be supported, but not at the expense of national stability, says Communications and Multimedia Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek.

It remained to be seen whether the Sedition Act would be abolished in full, Shabery said, or whether parts of it will be kept, since the proposed harmony bills slated to replace the Act were still under the consultation process.
