Recently, Parliament passed a draft law that allows police to collect DNA by people under arrest. More crimes will be added to a list for which DNA can be collected from suspects, thus improve the police’s ability to solve crimes. The current practice of restricting DNA collection have resulted in a smaller pool of DNA database. The DNA information can be used for criminal investigations, forensic compare with other DNA information, and for criminal proceedings. Although, other Members of Parliament raised his concerns regarding this matter. One of the pressing concerns would be that as a law involves the surrender of private information, the high levels of security and access must be assured by the Government. 1 …………………….... 2 …………………….... 3 …………………….... 4 …………………….... 5 …………………….... 6 …………………….... 7 …………………….... 8 …………………….... 9 …………………….... 10 ……………………..
