Najib in July, 2013, announced for a second time his intention to repeal the 66-year old act when he was interviewed by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), saying it would be replaced by a new National Harmony Act.
But, critics of the act have observed that since Najib’s announcement, an increasing number of opposition politicians were being charged for sedition.
These include DAP Seputeh MP Teresa Kok; PKR vice-president Tian Chua; Datuk Tamrin Ghafar of PAS; and activists Haris Ibrahim, Adam Adli and Muhammad Safwan Anang.
