KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 (Bernama) -- Section 114A of the Evidence Act 1950
does not stifle freedom of expression but will instead encourage people
to be more ethical and responsible in expressing their opinions, says
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri
Abdul Aziz.
He said the section needed not be repealed as it was not in conflict with the universal principles of law.
"This section does not at all violate freedom and people's fundamental rights. All quarters will also be more responsible in taking care of their own items," he said in his written reply to Karpal Singh (DAP-Bukit Gelugor) in the Dewan Rakyat, here, Thursday.
