Episode: Consider This: SOSMA — The Impact on People
Description: The Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (SOSMA) continues to be disproportionately used on those from the B40, compounding their financial and socioeconomic vulnerability as the accounts of detainees and their families are frozen indefinitely, thousands of ringgit of legal fees incurred, loss of income coupled with snowballing debt. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Sevan Doraisamy, Executive Director of Suara Rakyat Malaysia, and Siti Nurizzah Mohd Tazali, independent researcher and author of SUARAM’s report on the socioeconomic impact of detention under Sosma.
