Seditious Tendency? Political Patronisation of Free Speech and Expression in Malaysia

This book is an analysis of the draconian provisions in the Sedition Act 1948 of Malaysia,its history and how it affects the citizen’s constitutional right to freedom of speech and expression as enshrined in the Constitution. It provides some understanding of, and reasons why, the Sedition Act as enacted and adopted in 1948 by the British colonial government must be abolished, or alternatively, reformed to reflect the changes in national and global political dimensions, particularly the threat of terrorism.
