Comments for Home Ministry to fast track DNA Identification Bill at http://www.malaysianbar.org.my , comment 0 to 1 out of 1 comments http://www.malaysianbar.org.my Thu, 04 Dec 2008 05:20:19 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/legal/general_news/home_ministry_to_fast_track_dna_identification_bill.html#pc_7368 Almost all Bills before Parliament, when passed into Acts, normally take prospective and not retrospective effect. In the case of crimes especially, the effect is prospective and normally its coming into force is never back-dated. The fear expressed by Nanyang that it is indeed aimed at Anwar Ibrahim or PKR will only crystallise if the coming into force of the Act is back-dated. I doubt back-dating of the entry into force of the Act will happen, although admittedly politics is the art of the possible.
