PARLIAMENT Opposition lawmakers are fuming after the government passed the buck and then evaded a query about the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) being abused.

Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi refused to respond to queries by Gobind Singh Deo (DAP-Puchong) on the use of Sosma against Umno man Khairuddin Abu Hassan and his lawyer Matthias Chang.
