Thought Sedition Act is under the purview of the Home Ministry, Liew said he has been working together with P Waythamoorthy and Mujahid Yusof Rawa, the de facto ministers in charge of unity and Islamic affairs respectively, as well as with Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo to come up with alternatives.
