MP Sim Tze Tzin had posed an oral question in Parliament requesting the Home Minister to state how many cases had been investigated under the Sedition Act 1948, the number of arrests made and the number of cases where charges had been filed in court from 1948 to 2015.
In a reply on 17 June 2015 (ref. 7983), the House was informed that the police did not have records of such cases from 1948. Instead, police records show that from 2008 to 22 February 2015, 409 cases had been investigated under the Sedition Act. The status of these cases are as follows:
Cases
26 – charges pressed in court
99 – still under investigation
30 – referred to the DPP
116 – required further investigation
138 – NFA (No Further Action)
