Harmony Bills may cause disharmony


I REFER to the article “Crafting the law on Unity” (Sunday Star, July 27) which touched on the move to repeal the Sedition Act, 1948 and replace it with a new set of laws for the purpose of promoting national unity and racial harmony.

The first question to ask is whether it is wise to repeal a law which has withstood the test of time since colonial days in maintaining law and order, national unity and racial harmony.
