Despite the authorities launching a sedition crackdown which saw 20 people charged or investigated since last month, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Paul Low maintained that the independence of the attorney-general and judiciary has not been compromised.
Low today said the government did not put pressure on the judiciary or the AG to act in certain circumstances and he denied there was selective prosecutiion.
"There should be certain boundaries to what can be said otherwise there will be chaos," he said in defending the use of the Sedition Act.
"The Act is there to ensure the peace and security of the country. We all know the nature and fabric of society where some groups may feel more insecure than others," he explained.
