Malaysian Bar president Steven Thiru, Sabah Law Association president Datuk GBB Nandy@Gaanesh and Advocates’ Association of Sarawak president Leonard Shim said the introduction of the law was an attempt to revive detention without trial.
Furthermore, they said it was a law that allowed for repeated renewals of detention and deny rights of suspected persons to due process of the law.
Dewan Rakyat earlier this week passed the bill and the next stage is for Dewan Negara to debate and approve the legislation before Royal assent was obtained.
The law has to be gazetted before the home minister picks a date for it to come into force.
