    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The manner in which I moved the amendment caused a little bit of confusion. If you look at the amendments as contained in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, it states the instances in which bail can be granted before stay. What we have just done is to include sexual offences in the many other instances. For instance, what has been stated in the amendment is that it includes Prevention of Terrorism Act, the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Act, and so many others that are contained in this particular amendment. Therefore, we have included Sexual Offences Act. It is just expanding without necessarily tampering with the constitutional safeguards that are provided in the Constitution, that someone is entitled to bail as a matter of right. So, that is not being interfered with."
