Former Attorney-General (A-G) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail tonight defended the ‎Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma) – a law that he himself had a hand in drafting – saying that its necessity had been proven in the Lahad Datu intrusion case.
In his first public speaking engagement since his removal from his post in late July, Gani said there was nothing wrong with the law itself but added that there could be problems with its interpretation and implementation.
‎"The trouble with laws is the interpretation and implementation rather than the laws itself," he told a packed auditorium at a forum on the controversial law tonight.
"Sosma was enacted as a legal response to terrorism and threat to national security. It is a criminal justice system to deal with arrests, prosecution and trial."
