KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the government will do
everything possible to tackle serious crimes in this country, but at the
same time be mindful of possible transgression of human rights.
"The important thing is that I want to underscore the government's commitment to fight crime especially serious crimes and organised crime in this country," said the Prime Minister when asked on the controversial issue of preventive detention measures, which has received different reactions from the public.
Najib said the government would make an announcement on specific measures later.
Previously, Najib had said that views from various quarters would be taken into account in formulating a new law similar to the Emergency Ordinance (EO) 1969, which was repealed in 2011.
Earlier this month, Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was reported to have said that following the repeal of EO, some of the 2,600 former detainees from the Simpang Renggam detention centre had returned to a life of crime.
He also said that he was currently discussing a draft of a new law with Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail. - Bernama
