KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 – The extension of a highly controversial clause in the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) will be put to the vote afresh in the Dewan Rakyat, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said today.
He also expressed his disappointment and frustration with government MPs who were absent during the bloc voting process in the House, which led to the motion that he tabled to be defeated.
“Of course, I was not very happy. Some of them were already in the Dewan. I can name them. And they just left when it’s time to vote. That’s not fair,” he told reporters after launching the 215th National Police Day at the Police Training Centre here.
Asked why he thought some of the government lawmakers left the House during the voting process, he said curtly: “Because they hate my face”.
