PARLIAMENT Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his deputy Nur Jazlan Mohamed kept mum about the detention of Bersih chief Maria Chin Abdullah under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma).

Nur Jazlan had at the end of his Home Ministry Budget 2017 wrap up speech in the House cited sub judice as a reason to not give answers.

“I want to inform (the House) that I have the answers ready, but the problem is I just received information that Maria has filed a habeas corpus writ.

“Therefore I can't speak further due to sub judice,” Nur Jazlan told the House.
