Mohamad Sabu Clarified Reference to National Service Training Programme, Not NSC Act

The Defence Ministry has clarified that Minister Mohamad Sabu was referring to the National Service Training Programme (PLKN) when he spoke about a potential review and retention, and not the National Security Council (NSC) Act 2016. The PLKN programme is currently under review, with a final decision expected from the Cabinet soon.
National Service Programme Under Review

The Defence Ministry stated that the National Service Training Programme (PLKN) is indeed being reviewed. A decision regarding the programme's future is anticipated from the Cabinet in the near future.
Misstatement Regarding NSC Act

Minister Mohamad Sabu had previously indicated in an interview that the Pakatan Harapan government might retain the National Security Council (NSC) Act 2016. He described the Act as a valuable tool for government officials.
Criticism Following Initial Statement

Following Mohamad Sabu's comments about the NSC Act, several politicians from the Pakatan Harapan coalition and activists voiced their disapproval. This reaction stemmed from the coalition's prior stance, where they had voted against the NSC Bill in Parliament, citing concerns about excessive powers granted to the prime minister in managing security threats, and had pledged to repeal it if elected.
