The Official Secrets Act 1972 (OSA) allows the government to classify any document as secret and jail those who release such information for up to seven years.
The law has long been considered a tool to enable the government to keep its affairs opaque – or worse, to cover up its scandals.
In an interview with Malaysiakini, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad concurred that the OSA was previously abused, but believes that the law should still stay.
In its election manifesto, Harapan promised to revamp the OSA with an accompanying Freedom of Information Act.
